This route includes some stations that fast trains skip, so you'll need to take a slow train for part or all of your journey.

For the best experience, I'd recommend traveling during off-peak hours if your schedule allows - between 11 AM and 4 PM or after 9 PM. The trains are considerably less crowded, and you might even get a seat! If you're a first-time Mumbai local traveler, start with first class (₹95) to ease into the experience. The coaches have yellow stripes and are noticeably less packed. Once you're comfortable with the system, second class at ₹10 offers the authentic Mumbai local experience.
