Multiple railway stations on the Western and Harbor lines connect the suburb to other parts of Mumbai through frequent train services. Auto rickshaws and buses run regularly through different neighborhoods, making it easier to move around within the area.
The area includes the fishing village of Versova, where traditional Koli communities continue to practice their age-old fishing methods. Every morning, boats return with fresh catches that are sold directly on the beach, while modern high-rise buildings stand nearby.
