Travel guidelines
The best mode of travel to Mahalaxmi Racecourse is by public transport since there is no parking available at the venue. However, you can also book the shuttle service.
Trains are easily the fastest mode of transport as the route is connected not only by the Western line through Mahalaxmi station, which is walking distance from the venue; take your free beverage coupon at the counter by showing your ticket. On the Central line, you can get down at Byculla station, which is about 2.5 km away. If you are considering the Monorail, then get down at Jacob Circle, which is only 2.5 km away from the concert grounds. Last but not the least, you can always take Metro Rail Line 3 and get off at Acharya Atre Chowk in Worli to reach your concert in time.
Beyond the train routes, the organisers have also tied up with Cityflo buses, for which you have to prebook your tickets.
