It should be pretty interesting. On one of the Mumbai hotel websites, they provide this information about travel during certain hours: "Avoid rush hours (0700 - 1100 and 1600-2100)."

Yes, let's read that again.  Rush hour in Bombay is between 7 a.m. and 11 a.m., and again from 4 in the afternoon until 9 p.m.

Though the city's name has been formally changed to Mumbai, everyone including Indians often still refers to it as Bombay.

Here's a photo from Mumbai that may or may not be typical rush hour:



This same web page continues:

"Mumbai's red double-decker buses are best for short distances in the city. The problem with bus travel is figuring out where the buses go, since the route maps sold at newstands are indecipherable. It is best to make as many friends as possible at the bus queue. Somebody will always help."
