How to Reach Jio World Centre in BKC: Metro, Taxi and Pre-Booked Cab
BKC is the modern business district of Mumbai, and can be reached by following the listed travel directions.
- Metro Line 3: BKC station is between 200 metres and 1.3 kilometres from the venue entrance, and the airport link takes just about five minutes.
- These are metered taxis and easily available and have pay-in-advance counters inside the airport.
- Pre-booked cab: Carrier and car information are provided before even the arrival and as per your luggage as well as the number of passengers. These are most comfy way to travel after a lengthy haul.
- Auto-rickshaws: Accessible in the suburbs, covering BKC as well, but fares are capped in South Mumbai.
Airport Taxi Booking in Mumbai: Pickups from Terminal 1, Terminal 2 and Navi Mumbai
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) has two airports: Terminal 2 is for nearly all international flights, while terminal 1 takes most domestic flights. The new airport in Navi Mumbai also opened its doors, so the best way to know which is the right airport is your flight ticket.
The journey from BKC to BOM varies from 20 to 60 min according to the traffic. Our CabBazar airport cab keeps a track of your booking so that when you reach the destination at the time you want. A Devcon welcome booth is present at the terminal 2 arrival hall as well.
One-Way Taxi Booking from Pune, Nashik and Other Cities
Many visitors begin their journey in another city. A one way taxi covers a single direction, which keeps the cost of intercity travel lean and predictable. CabBazar offers the lowest pricing for every customer on every one-way booking.
| Route | Approx. distance | Typical drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Pune to Mumbai | 150 km | 3 to 4 hours |
| Nashik to Mumbai | 165 km | 3.5 to 4.5 hours |
| Lonavala to Mumbai | 85 km | 2 to 3 hours |
| Surat to Mumbai | 280 km | 5 to 6 hours |
| Goa to Mumbai | 590 km | 11 to 13 hours |
Drive times shift with traffic, weather and festival crowds.
A cab for the round trip leaves you one vehicle and one driver at the destination and for the whole trip. A Pune group can reach the venue in the morning and attend the day's sessions and ride back in the evening with the same cab waiting at the venue for them.
Guests staying at places in Bandra, Andheri or Lower Parel have the convenience of booking the drive for all conference days, allowing for hassle-free venue pickups for comfort. Round-trip bookings price the same lowest cost as any other trip.
Traffic Timing Tips for Mumbai During Devcon Week
As the official travel guide points out, the 3-kilometre journey is 10 minutes at dawn and 45 minutes at 6 pm. A little planning can save you a lot of time.
- Leave early, perhaps before the 9 am crowd begins to gather
- Include extra time on rainy or holiday days.
- Pre-arrange your airport pickup, or Uber and Lyft rides, for 30 to 45 minutes earlier than usual
- Book a cab for late-night returns
Bungalows in Kalina, Vile Parle East, Santacruz and Bandra East enjoy access of 10 to 25 minutes, while it takes 30 to 40 minutes for South Mumbai. During festive time, around Diwali, rooms get booked out early so you might need a reliable travel option.
