Comment: Mumbai - a city of contrasts

RAIL columnist Christian Wolmar

I was privileged to spend a couple of days recently being shown round the transport system of Mumbai by my old friend and fellow railway author, Rajendra Aklekar.

It was remarkably enlightening. Mumbai may have lost its trams, but it has a wide variety of rail systems - including the famous and heavily used extensive suburban rail system, an elevated monorail, and both elevated and underground metro lines.
