Nov 18, 2008 - Used the trains a lot when I was in India and it ain't much fun. Mumbai is a crazy place, just like most other Indian cities.

Nov 18, 2008 - Raymond, didn't it feel as though you accomplished something great? I know I did everyday during my college years.Considering this video, you picked the safest rail line of the three, Andheri on Western. You should try the Central line, try getting on from Kurla on a fast one and getting down at any next station towards CST(7 to 9AM weekdays). Now thats a challenge.

Nov 18, 2008 - That's because you have a stereotyped view of how the world should be and anything which is not like that ought to be shameful. This is the only metro that is up an running withing hours of blast. Wonder if that is shameful to you too? Stop looking down on everything your own and Get a life

Nov 18, 2008 - Great Man you both could brave the crowd. I have seen Westerners, who are travelling for the first time, struggle in the crowd.Another challenging travel would be a VIRAR bound train from ANDHERI in the evening after 6.00 PM (weekdays) & try alighting in BORIVALI station (the next halt for that train). In fact the people sitting on the rooftops in your video are mostly from the residents of BORIVALI - VIRAR suburbs.

Nov 18, 2008 - Thank you for the detailed info. We love Mumbai, we love the trains and the people.

Nov 18, 2008 - Don't worry the Indian government is focussing on better mass transit. Unfortunately though Tata Motors plans on clogging up the roads even more with the people's car.
tere9009 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - it is true that roads are more packed but one who is unexperienced in travelling by train in mumbai is time consuming as you have to wait probably for quite a while to catch a train.hopefully the railway minister will do someting about it and improve it as fast as possible.

Nov 18, 2008 - Hahaha great work. I just finished editing and uploading my video to find you'd already done the same thing! I guess mine's at night, and the Aussie is holding the camera and not talking... But damn similar yaar.
