As stated by Time Out about Mumbai’s public transit system, 81% of locals in the city admitted to finding it easy to cross the city roads by public transport with millions using buses, rickshaws, metro, and taxis on a daily basis that has kept the metropolis moving. It further also noted that an app named ‘Chalo Pay’ has made traveling in Mumbai a bit easier.
