Mumbai runs about sixty kilometres north to south along two railway lines and one coast, and crossing it takes an hour even on a good day. Nobody in Borivali travels to Colaba for a shop, and nobody in Colaba goes to Powai for dinner. The practical way to use this site is to find your part of the city first, and the trade or the restaurant second. These are the six divisions Mumbai residents actually use.

Colaba · Fort · Ballard Estate · Churchgate · Kala Ghoda · Nariman Point · Kemps Corner

Bandra Kurla Complex
BKC · Jio World Centre · Bharat Diamond Bourse · National Stock Exchange
Western Suburbs
Bandra · Khar · Santacruz · Vile Parle · Juhu · Andheri · Versova
Far Western Suburbs
Goregaon · Film City · Malad · Kandivali · Borivali · Dahisar
Eastern Suburbs
