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.
