We start off with a BEST bus ride – a company that’s been providing Mumbai transport since the 1870s. At the train station, you’ll get some inkling about the truth about those figures about the arrivals and departures – over six hundred and sixty thousand footfalls a day, in the world's second-largest urban area after Tokyo! Started in 1853, the trains are the most complex network in India, and Mumbai's trains carry over 8 million people every day – that’s why they are the lifeline of Mumbai, the world’s most crowded city. You will disembark at the award-winning City Museum which showcases Mumbai’s rise from a cluster of seven marshy islands to a bustling modern megapolis.
A local Kaali – Peeli (Black and Yellow) cab will now take you to the Bandra Area, where you’ll hop on to a rickshaw. The rickshaw ride winds its way through the by-lanes opening up some chapters of the history and heritage of this popular celebrity residential area, which still leans into its humble roots. The tour ends at a popular local restaurant, where you can further quiz the guide at leisure about the various aspects of your explorations in this novel way from the viewpoint of a visitor trying to get the measure of the pulse of the city.
