In a city where space is limited and the daily grind of traffic is a constant battle, World Public Transport Day resonates deeply with Mumbaikars. 

Observed every year on November 10, this day serves as a reminder of the ever-growing traffic woes and encourages a shift towards sustainable travel. So today, we’re celebrating our seven modes of public transport that aren’t just ways to get from A to B, but lifelines that keep Mumbai moving. Let’s see what people have to say for each:

BEST Buses 

They are the heartbeat of Mumbai—cheap, quick and always around.
Anushka Jadhav, 24

Mumbai Metro

It is sustainable and truly connects all of Mumbai. I take the Metro every day and encourage more people to use it.
Bipasha Fadnavis, 32

Mumbai Local 

Mumbai Local is quick, well-connected, and the most budget-friendly way to travel, if you’ve got the courage to brave the crowd.
Harshil Kapoor, 29

Autos Rickshaw

Autos are convenient and reliable. They’ll drop you right till the doorstep— what more do we need!
Prerona, 28

Monorail 

It connects me from home in Chembur to work in Wadala and I love it.
Arisha Fatima, 22

Kaali Peeli 

They are the backbone of South Bombay since autos are not available. No AC; but cheaper than Uber.

Double-Decker Buses

The OG double-decker busses remind me of my childhood in Mumbai.
