Tips & Guidelines for Visitors from out of Mumbai
Because of this, it is very difficult for the conference organizers to arrange for pickup/drop-off for the large number of delegates that arrive in a short period of time. With the information provided here, it is easy to get to Anushakti Nagar on your own. We request you to do the same, as we are not providing local transport from the station or airport to Anushakti Nagar. Our apologies for the inconvenience this may cause, and we request your understanding and indulgence in this matter.
There are as many as 3 airport terminals and 6 main rail terminals within the city. This document describes how to get to Anushakti Nagar from the main terminals and provides general tips for travel. The taxi and the auto-rickshaw are the common transport modes from the transport terminals. They are almost always available on demand.
ORIENTATION
Mumbai City Map (Source - IIT Bombay Website)
Taxi: The taxi is the most convenient mode of travel especially when you have luggage. There are Ordinary Black and Yellow Taxi (very common) and Cool Cabs - Blue and Grey (Air-conditioned) Taxis that operates by meter plus tariff card. The meter reading is to be multiplied by approximately 13 to arrive at the fare. A 25% surcharge is applicable for travel between midnight and 5 am. A charge of Rs.10/- per large bag or suitcase is also charged. A/C taxi fares are higher. Also there are private taxis but their rates vary and a pre-negotiated rates is desirable.
Approximate Multiplying Factors - Taxi Meter : 13 times (day) or 20 times (night). Insist on a tariff card. Use Prepaid, wherever possible. Prepaid fares may be higher, but more convenient as payment is done under supervision.
Auto Rickshaw: The three wheeler auto-rickshaws (also colored yellow and black) ply in the suburbs of Mumbai and are useful to get to IIT from nearby local train stations where taxis may not be readily available.
Approximate Multiplying Factors - Auto Rickshaw Meter : The Reading is multiplied by 10, and 2 deducted to arrive at the fare. For example if the meter reading is 5.60, then 5.60 x 10 = 56 - 2 = Fare Rs. 54/- Night fares calculated as Meter reading x 1.25. Insist on a tariff card.
Reaching IIT from Airport Terminus
1. Santacruz terminal A (Indian Airlines flight)
2. Santacruz terminal B (All other domestic airlines)
3. Sahar International Terminal (all international flights and some night domestic flights run or
