For the benefit of passengers arriving in Mumbai City during the nighttime, the BEST has introduced Air-Conditioned, and Limited bus services, from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (Sahar) Airport to Nariman Point / Backbay Depot in South Mumbai. Considering the peak activity at the airports during night hours theses bus services will be operated from 23.00hrs to 5.00hrs.

Both Air-Conditioned as well as Limited bus services would be provided by the BEST on this route at an interval of every half an hour. The frequency of the buses will be further improved on the basis of response from the passengers.

These bus routes are connecting four prime hotels of the Mumbai city. They are ITC Grand Maratha Sheraton (Parel), Taj Palace (Apollo Bunder), Hilton Tower (Nariman Point), and Hotel President (Cuffe Parade), on its itinerary.

The detailed itineraries of these services are:



Chhatrapati Shivaji International (Sahar) Airport, Domestic Airport Santacruz, Kala Nagar, Mahim, Shivaji Park, Khodadad Circle, Parel, Lalbaug, Byculla, Bhendi Bazar, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), Museum, Mantralaya.

hi mahascribe, that sounds interesting.
does this bus service go to colaba? and how much does it cost?
do you think it is a better option than a taxi (price, journey time etc.) ?
thanks again.

The Museum stop mentioned in the article is at the north end of Colaba.

Has anyone tried this service from Sahar Airport? Is it up and running and how does one find the bus upon leaving the airport?

If its in the suburbs and you dont have lot of luggage and says just a backpack you can walk out of the airport (5 minutes ) and catch a rickshaw (never catch on directly outside the airport ). Or if you have the bus guide take a bus (remember to be sure you are not catching the bus during the rush hours and not in a direction where the busses are jam packed).Rush hours and jam packed buses are hell to travel in .
