I have seen many people complaining about the LTT station. I personally feel that it is a very good station but only if you know some things about LTT.
1) If you stay far away from LTT, then please book MERU cab or any other cab online. Never take a cab/auto from the cabs/autos waiting at the stations, they demand ridiculously high fares for even the shortest distances. You can altenately go outside the station inside Tilaknagar where you may get a cab/auto which charges normal fare.
2) If your train reaches LTT...
more... at odd time(in case the train is late) stay in the dormitory rather than waiting in the station premises as there are a number of thiefs and they mostly target passengers travelling alone.(Checkout time of dormitory is 8am)
3) Always reach 1hr before the departure of your train to the station especially if you don't know much about the station or if you are first time traveller from this station.
4) The station is well connected to Domestic and International airports and Navi Mumbai by Santacruz-Chembur Link Road(SCLR). Also connected to Navi Mumbai by Harbour Line.
5) Nearest Suburban station is Tilaknagar and if you hav to go to this station please go to the end of the platform it is near from there ascompared to the new building.
6) One good thing is that a lot of people go to Tilaknagar station after the arrival of a train so no problems evan if you arrive at 11pm or 12am.
7) If you have to go to Central suburbs like Vikroli, Bhandup or even Kurla, get down at Thane/Kalyan and get a suburban train from there.
please wait...Translate to EnglishYo, I've seen so many people whining about the LTT station. Personally, I think it's a dope station, but only if you know a few things about LTT. Here's the scoop:
1) If you live far from LTT, then you better book a MERU cab or some other cab online. Don't even think about hailing a cab/auto from the ones waiting at the station. They'll try to rip you off big time, even for a short ride. Instead, head outside the station towards Tilaknagar where you can find a cab/auto that charges normal fares.
2) If your train rolls into LTT at a funky hour (like when it's running late), don't hang around the station premises. Get yourself a spot in the dormitory instead. There are a bunch of thieves lurking around and they love to target lone travelers. Just remember that the checkout time for the dormitory is 8am.
3) Always make sure you reach the station one hour before your train leaves, especially if you're clueless about the station or if it's your first time traveling from there.
4) The station is well connected to the Domestic and International airports, as well as Navi Mumba...
please wait...Translate to HindiMaine bahut logo ko LTT (Lokmanya Tilak Terminus) station ke baare mein shikayatein karte dekha hai. Mujhe vyaktigat roop se lagta hai ki yeh bahut accha station hai, lekin sirf tab jab aap LTT ke baare mein kuch cheezein jaante ho.
1) Agar aap LTT se dur rehte ho, to MERU cab ya kisi aur cab ko online book karo. Kabhi bhi station par wait kar ke wahan khadi taxi/auto se na le, woh chhote se bhi faslon ke liye behad zyada bhaari bhooli maangte hain. Aap Tilaknagar ke andar station ke bahar ja sakte ho, wahan aapko cab/auto milega jisne normal fare rakha hoga.
2) Agar aapka train odd time par LTT pahunchti hai (train deri ho to), to station ke premises mein intezaar karne ki bajay dormitory mein rahiye kyunki yahan bahut saare choro ki toli hai aur unka main target akele yatra karne wale yatriyon par hota hai. (Dormitory ka checkout time 8am hai)
3) Hamesha train ke chale jaane se 1 ghanta pehle station tak pahunch jayein, khaas karke agar aapko station ke baare mein kam pata hai ya agar aap pehli baar is station se yatra kar rahe hain.
4) Station Domestic aur International airports, aur Navi Mumba se acche tarah juda hua hai...
