During our time in India it was a case of walking, or hiring a motor vehicle taxi or an auto rickshaw – known by us in Durban as a tuk-tuk. A taxi between point A & B in the city might be as high as say INR 900 / ZAR 166, but you can hire a taxi for 8 hours straight in Mumbai for INR 1200 / ZAR 221. Yes folk, that’s only ZAR 221 to be driven around the city, waited on and given a basic tour (the drivers usually point out all the tourist sites they have been asked to show previously).
At this point I have to introduce Jay Krishnan telephone +91 98 33 272871 of Mumbai who was referred to us by a family member in Durban and fellow photographer in Cape Town; both of whom received top-class assistance from Jay. We had the same experience; what a wonderful chap.
It’s really a case of booking your flight to Mumbai, securing accommodation and then calling Jay to advise him of your flight number / arrival date / time. He or his drivers will fetch and look after you. Whether you want to know about mobile SIM cards, second-hand books or anything else, just ask Jay.
The inserted photo of the auto rickshaw was taken on the main road in Juhu Beach at the entrance of what appeared to be a small slum settlement.

Ah … also in Durban. Good to read. In Cape Town prohibited for political reasons but in Hermanus the locally owned TUKTUKker is doing excellent business and the drivers are behaving themselves better than those of the taxis… And, from the heart: you made some magnificent pictures in India. My compliments!!!! 😀 Keep posting them! and when you’re out of stock go back to India and shoot many more..
Yes baas! 😉
Good ol auto rickshaws. Tuk tuks are present, but mainly in the outskirts of the city.
For sure
