     43%6 its population is migrants. The international migrants constitute about one per cent of the total
     migrants.7 These figures show clearly the city’s attraction.

                                            Insert Figure 1: Maps of India about here.

       Since the liberalization of India, in 1991, Mumbai has observed outstanding development in the
     economic and financial sector. Mumbai’s population is just about 1 per cent of the total population in
     India8 but has a per capita income nearly three times that of India. It is also the richest city in India9 and
     in the top 30 richest cities in the world.10 It has contributed immense to the India's income about $209
     billion11. The city accounts for 6 percent of India’s economy contributing about 10 percent of factory
     employment, 40 percent of income tax revenues and 40 percent of foreign trade in the country and 70
     per cent of capital transactions to India's economy.12

      Because of geographical advantages with deep harbor and long coast, Mumbai handles 70 per cent of
     maritime trade in India.13 All shipping activities have been suspended at the two busiest ports, the
     Mumbai Port and the Jawaharlal Nehru Port.

       III. Urban transportation

       Talking about transportation in Mumbai, Mumbai’s transport system includes Public transportation
     and Private vehicles. Public transport in Mumbai involves the transportation of millions of its citizens by
     various vehicle types. It comprised of a suburban rail system and public bus system, as well as private
     taxis and auto-rickshaws.15

       According to the report of MMRDA (Mumbai metropolitan region development authority) 88% of
     commuters in Mumbai use public transport mainly suburban trains or BEST buses as a means of
     transport. Currently, 11 million people travel daily by Public Transport with modal share of Rail - 52%,
     and Bus - 26%16

       Insert Figure 2: Maps of Mumbai region and The Mumbai suburban rail network. About here

       To adapt with the rapidly increasing of population and modernization the city transport, Mumbai has
     decided to build the Metro system. The MMRDA planned the Mumbai Metro to be a 146.5km17 rail-
     based mass rapid transit system. The Metro is going to operate in May 2012. It will integrate with other
     transports to make Mumbai a comprehensive transportation system.

       Mumbai has India’s most extensive suburban rail net-work, carrying more than 5 million passengers a
     day—58 percent of total public transport passengers in the region (vs. 42% by bus) and 80 percent of
     total passenger km (vs. 20% by bus)18. That is the reason M umbai has the best integration of rail and
     road public

       Mumbai has the largest organized bus transport network among major Indian cities19. But the train
     network is always overloaded especially in the peak hours with over three times the passengers. About
     4700 passengers travel in a 9-car rake during peak hours, as against its rated carrying capacity of only
     1,70020

       The most preferred transport in Mumbai is B.E.S.T bus. The BEST bus routes are spread city widely
     and also to neighboring cities. It also have the well connection, integration with other transports form
     rail, train and airline. As of 2011, the BEST runs a total of 4,680 buses21, ferrying 4.8 million passengers
     over 365 routes22. Recently, BEST has introduced air- conditioned buses and low floor buses that are
     equipped with facilities to accommodate the disabled.

       The affordability is one outstanding feature of the Mumbai’s transportation system. BEST bus which
     operates public buses in Mumbai, is also an electric utility and they subsidizes bus fares from electricity
     revenues. As of January 2009, the minimum fare is Rs 3.50 (US 0.07$) for ordinary bus, Rs5
     (US0.09$) for limited bus and Rs 22 (US 0.42 $)23 for AC bus it very cheap to compare with other
     countries in the same level such as Vietnam (US 0.2$).

       IV. Mumbai Global city.

       In 2010, in the ranking of GaWC world cities, Mumbai was listed in the category of Alpha world
     city24- the same category with Washington, Mexico City, Los Angeles, Madrid, etc.

       Most of the foreign banks and financial institutions have set up offices in its expanse in Mumbai. It
     also comprises of the headquarters of esteemed Indian financial institutions like Bombay Stock
     Exchange, Reserve Bank of India, National Stock Exchange, etc. It leads Mumbai to become financial,
     commercial hub of India and south west Asia region.

       Because of numerous institutions and international corporations have their headquarters in Mumbai.
     This City not only attracts migrants from all over India but also foreign experts and workers all over the
     world. The city offers countless employment opportunities and is known for its interesting and high
     standard of living. Therefore, more and more foreigners come to Mumbai for studying and working.

       Nowadays, Coming to Mumbai is much easier than ever because of two big airports with the
     connection to most of airport in all over the world. The primary airport of Mumbai-Chhatrapati Shivaji
     International Airport is India's and South Asia's largest and most important airline hub, the gate way to

     India. In 2010, it was ranked the 30th busiest airport in the world in terms of cargo with 671,238 tones
     handled and more than 29.9 million passengers. 25

       One criterion of ranking Cities in the world considers numbers of millionaire and billionaire.
     Although, India is low – middle income country but Mumbai still have numerous numbers of millionaire
     and billionaire. It was ranked seventh in the list of "Top Ten Cities for Billionaires" and first in term of
     billionaire average wealth by the Forbes magazine.26

       V.     Conclusion

       Beside these achievements, Mumbai is still faced with many problems such as uncontrolled migrants,
     urban fragmentation, gap of Rich – Poor, injustice in society, terrorist attacks, slum, etc. The city
     definitely needs to have a longer vision in planning and management of these urban issues considering
     the fact that Mumbai is the global city.

       Even though, ―No city in India has evoked as much admiration as the city of Mumbai. It is regarded
     as a city of challenges, opportunities, guts, hope, peaceful co-existence and above all, a city of
     dreams.‖27

Public transport in Mumbai involves the transportation of millions of its citizens by various vehicle types.

The MMRDA planned the Mumbai Metro to be a 146.5km17 rail- based mass rapid transit system. The Metro is going to operate in May 2012. It will integrate with other transports to make Mumbai a comprehensive transportation system. Mumbai has India’s most extensive suburban rail net-work, carrying more than 5 million passengers a day—58 percent of total public transport passengers in the region (vs. 42% by bus) and 80 percent of total passenger km (vs. 20% by bus)18. That is the reason M umbai has the best integration of rail and road public Mumbai has the largest organized bus transport network among major Indian cities19. But the train network is always overloaded especially in the peak hours with over three times the passengers. About 4700 passengers travel in a 9-car rake during peak hours, as against its rated carrying capacity of only 1,70020 15 Rickshaw is a three-wheeled cabin cycle for private use and as a vehicle for hire. 16 Mumbai urban transport project.
