You do not ever want to to try to drive in Mumbai. The traffic is horrendous and the rules of the road are mystical. Hire a car and driver and enjoy the sites. Allow 3 times as much time as you think you need to get somewhere. Sundays are the best days to site see without as much traffic. A car and driver hired from a top hotel will cost around 1900 R for six hours.

Be careful of Chatrapati Shivaji. The main station in Mumbai (CST - Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus) and the airports, national and international, are named after him. so, clearly mention that you have to go to Chatrapati Shivaji train terminus. or you may find yourself at the airport instead. Incidently, the train station was called Victoria Terminus, the domestic airport Santacruz airport and the international airport Sahar airport.

: Avoid travelling in local trains and buses DURING THE RUSH HOURS- you may end up gasping for breath as soon as you board the bus/train(if at all you do manage to get in) Here are some mind-boggling facts: 6 million people commute daily on the train network ....average peak hour load being 4500 – 5000 commuters per train ...commuter density inside the trains reach 9-14 persons/meter square The picture should tell the story!

If you are arriving at Mumbai in the wee hours, I strongly recommend that you arrang for a pick-up. Use taxis outside the airport which are controlled by the police and DON'T SHARE THE TAXI RIDE.
