You can travel cheaply and easily around Mumbai by taking local trains, BEST buses, or auto-rickshaws. Stick to public transport if possible as traffic can be chaotic and parking is hard to find. Expect to spend around Rs. 100-200 on transportation for the day depending on your starting point and the mode of transport you choose.
If you have extra time, consider visiting the Gateway of India, Elephanta Caves, or Juhu Beach, and budget accordingly. If you have less time, you can skip Haji Ali Dargah or Marine Drive and spend more time exploring other neighborhood markets such as Chor Bazaar or Dadar Market.
