Mumbai has a pretty extensive public transportation system. Trains and buses run frequently all day and night. And they are not expensive. 6 Rupees gets me to Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST/VT), the main central train station shown in the first pic.
Each train has at least one ladies only car, and you will find me here. Ladies cars allow women to feel more comfortable and safe on the train. If you`re a guy, you`ve gotta work a little harder.
Because they are so crowded, using the trains can take some nerve. Maybe because I`m a city girl at heart, but I don`t think the trains are so bad. OK, they aren`t very modern. And there are no doors. But no doors means you always have fresh air. And if the train is stalled in between stations, you can just walk off, like the people in the second pic did. Tell me where else you can do that!
