Mumbai Local vs Coastal Road from Bandra Bandstand to Marine Drive | Time & Money Comparison

The southbound road of the Mumbai Coastal Road has been recently opened to commuters in the city, offering a much-needed respite from the never-ending traffic. The coastal road is said to allow commuters to travel from Worli to Marine Drive in just about 8 minutes. To put this to the test, Tanveer and Stacy from Moneycontrol have decided to take up a challenge, but with a twist. They will compare the coastal road against the Mumbai Local train and see who reaches Marine Drive first and at what cost. To find out the results of this intriguing challenge, watch the video now.

Tanveer could've reached there earlier had he gotten off at Marine Drive station instead of Churchgate and taxied back

[@SSRealLifeVLOGS]

True. Intentionally he went to churchgate to add 13 min ❤

[@somnathchanda1250]

what about charni road station

[@imsmoot550]

Also he took the slow local

[@jaxx2183]

And why are you comparing with local train you should compare with the old road vs New Road

[@financialnirvana991]

Fixing. Taking slow train instead of fast one & going all way to churchgate when u can get down at marine lines & walk 2 min to marine drive. In traffic train will beat any road hands down

[@drindianguru1]

Both of them had a bias towards the costal road and wanted it to win.

[@gyanpandit21]

Such a wasteful comparison.. Taking slow train from Bandra. Fast train takes mere 20 min to reach Marine lines... Marine drive is 2 min walk. Tanveer should have taken 32 min and reached early and economically

[@RahulSingh-te1xt]

😂😂😂😂 right

[@factiliya2891]

But you have to wait for Fast train.

[@gyanpandit21]

@@factiliya2891 Western Railway has very good frequency of fast locals

[@madhurshinde4988]

are you sure its 20 min, i reached marine lines in like 12 mins.

[@sayanbiswas_sports]

The cost is almost 4x and time save is only 20 mins. Obviously I will try for experience but not use it for regular purpose

[@kanishkmair2920]

Using your own car will be cheaper

[@APEXMACHCORPORATION]

@@kanishkmair2920 Even then not cheaper , i mean where will you park your car in marine drive , unless you own a property / flat / area / shop or are guest who is allowed to park inside , no way is it Ok.

[@saptarshichatterjee36]

​@@kanishkmair2920Car ownership itself is much more expensive

[@rahulparekh6381]

The taxi she took at Bandra is the same Taxi in which he came from Churchgate to Marine Drive

[@adrianvinod7656]

Dear Tanveer Next you go to Bandra station Head to platform 5 and catch a fast train to churchgate It only takes 20-25 mins and cost 10rs for single journey

[@rrr8523]

One option for the rich...other for the middle class...but now the rich will be satisfied...middle class were always satisfied 😅

[@RakeshKurup7]

Bandra to Churchgate by Fast AC local is just 21 minutes against 32 minutes by slow train. Also he could have taken churchgate left exit and got the cab instead of going all the way to the starting point os station(Main entry). So if we optimize he could have easily reached 15mins before that means 5mins after the Cab!!

[@JaiVora]

The fast local from Bandra would have saved 10 mins. Getting off at Marine Lines (Mumbaidevi Station) is better to reach the end of the coastal roads saving Cab cost of ₹30 and also the excess time it takes for the train to end any railway terminus. These 2 guys are good enough for novices who have recently migrated to the city.

[@jayvnandu1991]

How did an ertiga come in uber go 😂😂😂😅😅

[@avishjha4030]

You didn't really use taxi services though, no taxi will go for 30 rupees. You just used moneycontrol's hired car, can even match the taxi used by both has same number.

[@abhilashgk9123]

i thought time is money in mumbai

[@MichaelScott69]

It is. ​@@abhilashgk9123

[@carmenlodrick9948]

What a coincidence, they both had the same Uber taxi.. Even though he got his frm out Churchgate stn.. Fooling the Public..😂😂😂

[@saaamaak]

That the costal road is only open from 8 am to 8 pm is not something everybody is aware of

[@urdailygamr9229]

this is India's issue no development midset.In kolkata they finally after years they opened only 20% of a metro track and they are saying only on weekdays from 9 to 4.Like just OPEN IT.

[@IndramaniArora]

Now do this same road trip after 1 year. Coastal road will be clogged with traffic once the induced demand kicks in, but the train will still take the same time

[@Sumit_Sharma_29]

that's what public transportation meant for!!!!!

[@aosaeanor]

Should have analysed the number of people commuting daily from Bandra Bandstand to Marine Drive vs BKC to Thane - Navi Mumbai Suburbs. That wld explain which section has higher number of users & which part is much needed by average people

[@hominariman423]

Start frm andheri n see who reaches faster

[@drshubhangibelwalkar1289]

is it open on holidays?like on 25March rangpanchami or 29 March(good Friday)?

[@jeemutbbahanroy]

Clearly the Moneycontrol team has absolutely no clue how to use a local train. Tum apna money control toh kar nahi pa rahein ho ... humko kya moneycontrol karna sikha rahe ho????? 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@kunalaakre7045]

False comparison...

[@worldwidesam3204]

Why he didn't get the fast train?

[@mickeysaini403]

She spent Rs 10.8 per KM and he spend 1.9 per KM travelled. This is the exact calculation majority of Indians will make and continue to travel on Trains and subsequently on Metro.

[@sudu916]

Why didn't he get off at Marine Lines Station?

[@skadvani]

It's an unfair comparison. The gentleman could have taken the fast train to Marine Lines

[@prashantkunduyou]

There should be a serious appraisal of the graphics person. At 10:15 the cost comparison between 120 vs 435 is not really in same scale as they did with time. Or they want to underplay the cost aspect

[@bernardrodrigues2672]

But if you board a train from Bandra y take a local 1 vher u can get a fast train to Churchgate

[@Abhyyt]

Wow what a coincidence! The number plate of cab she took at Bandra matches with the one he took at the Churchgate station 😂

[@narayanhk1]

Which day of the Week??!!

[@jackrulz08]

Good one money control team 👍🏻

[@anitafernandes807]

I take the coastal road from Worli to Marine Drive and it's a dream. I don't think the two modes of transport are comparable though. My journey from Worli to Colaba has been cut down to half - about 23 minutes as against 45 minutes.

[@Bhartiya_Railworld]

Mumbai Local is our lifeline ❤️

[@mayuraggarwal2111]

Basically it takes 27mins to get out of bandra

[@drambarishsaraf]

Guys why go to Churchgate station ?? For reaching marine drive….😂

[@Bhartiya_Railworld]

And also he took the Slow Local as well meanwhile should take fast Local

[@Bhartiya_Railworld]

In this Racing Situation you must take Churchgate Fast Local where it Halts at Bandra then Dadar, Mumbai Central(Nana Shankarseth), Grant Road, Charni Road (Girgaon) and Marine Lines (Mumbadevi Road).

[@AadilShaikh-e5n]

Tanwwr 🎉

[@yashlahigude2638]

It will be more fun if you give money to normal civilians and tell them to take this challenge rather then these to beverly hills residents.

[@ParshavSheth-i6m]

This experiment actually proves how BAD THE URBAN PLANNING in Mumbai is. MORE MONEY = FASTER TRAVEL. This shouldn't be the case, Public Transport should be fastest and most efficient not PRIVATE vehicles. This actually makes the mobility problems in the city worse!

[@johntresca8531]

did you buy tickets and paid cab?

[@Adi-oc2hd]

Ppl will prefer their owm cars mostly. Then that 350 cost is largely reduced

[@sijusukumar3034]

Guys ....don't ever ever compare cab fare with train fare , bus fare auto fare. It's a common calculation. Your man traveled on train with huge passengers. Train is getting profit that's why fare is cheaper same in bus. And in cab she is traveling alone the entire fuel and maintenance is for that Particular one passenger. And ertiga is 6 seater go with your 6 friends and contribute. The fare might be less that 80 rupees.....

[@JaiVora]

@moneycontrol please avoid tarnishing your standard

[@HappyJourney3003]

C'mon Moneycontrol, not expected of you

[@navinrajn27]

Try BEST bus from Bandra to Marine Drive n then compare the time n Cost with Local train...see which is economically n less time consuming

[@dannydsouza3905]

Any toll??

[@mostwantedkiss]

You should have taken a fast train to Churchgate and then get off at Marine Drive.

[@arindamkumar7725]

All these videos are inspired by the Top Gears public transport vs cars episodes.

[@northernlites_aura]

If he is going to have body massage in local than she will have head massage in cab 😅

[@pareshgarude]

I m here for the comments.

[@MrDesmond3]

Bit of an unfair and unscientific comparison; as some have already pointed out you're comparing apples with potatoes. Secondly, what if he had taken a fast train and she had driven downtown herself? She would have had to find scarce parking and pay for it too. If he'd travelled 2nd class it'd have been even cheaper! Let's not even factor in the cost of pollution!

[@hdkloh6857]

You should compare with Fast Local Train not with Slow Train 😂

[@minoopavri3385]

Take a fast train to marine lines and then take a cab it won't be more than 40min

[@harikrishnannair5920]

Also, instead of taking a cab, if you have your personal car, how much is the total expense ? Nevertheless, locals are definitely dependable.

[@mik29k]

What an useless video. Coastal road is ment to be an alternative for traffic filled roads of mumbai not the local train.

[@kardesai]

I love it kaise gaaliya paad rahi inko, beloved mumbai local ko inferior bolne ke liye, next time start with bandra station rather sea link

[@kartikmahalle4503]

How non sense and dumb comparison is this. Instead of taking fast local from bandra, instead of deboarding at marine lines. Please don't make such non-sense videos from next time @moneycontrol.

[@rohit9706]

Wait why are u adding taxi cost people have cars thats not a fair comparison

[@ChiSa123]

When "Metro Line 3" launches fully and when "Vande Metro"/"Vande Bharat Metro" launches on Mumbai Local it will be a game changer! 😎 🚅

Why didn't the guy take a fast train instead of a slow train?

Both the presenters are so so bad at their job

[@vdp2856]

Why he didn't dropped at Marin lines only and walk

[@minimalist1911]

Saves just 20 minutes! Not a significant difference at all. Only good thing about the coastal road is you need just need 1 vehicle (AC taxi) to get from point A to point B.

[@harikrishnannair5920]

How is it that you both chose an Ertiga for cab ? That must cost more than the regular hatchback cabs.

[@omkar2810sarvajanik]

1st of all why the hell he didn't used the fast local😂

[@joerego2189]

Why didn’t he take a cab from marine lines station?

[@_sushantshinde]

Why not marine lines station.

[@BrianMuzik-c4s]

😂 Same cab went to pick up Tanvir after dropping Stacy off. Save 20 minutes for Rs 320/- unless youre a late kate stock broker,...... Naaaah!

[@suniljain5876]

What a fool Tanveer.Anyone sensible person would have taken the Churchgate fast & would have easily reached earlier

[@rajasdoshi1234]

Fast train Bandra Dadar Mumbai Central Churchgate Foolish of you to take slow train

[@Hamzasr]

She booked an UberGo! Ertiga is an SUV category vehicle. This video is really misleading. And man it cracked me how she called Tanweer without even calling, behen screen to lock kar leti, itna obvoius simp nahi lagti :P :D

[@sidgiggs]

try during peak hours..... there is no ways, you will reach before the train....

[@kartikmtiwari]

Biased Enough Could've taken the Fast Local and Get down at Marine lines would've reached earlier than any other mode of transport

[@factiliya2891]

Our local is the best option for low budget people. Time does not matter against money. Costal road option i can choose occassionally.

[@jagnik4038]

Stupid comparison, its road vs train.. it should be new road vs old roads
