Mumbai's bus system is… an experience. Let's just say "intense" is an understatement. Downloading m-Indicator is your best bet. It's pretty reliable for routes and timings, though sometimes the bus numbers are a little cryptic. Don't be afraid to ask locals – most are happy to help, especially if you show you're trying your best with Hindi or Marathi (even a few words go a long way). Peak hour is a total nightmare, so try to travel outside those times if you can. And prepare for some serious shoulder-to-shoulder action – it’s part of the charm (or the horror, depending on your perspective). Also, keep your valuables close. Good luck, you'll survive!

Even just finding a quiet bench in one of the less crowded parks could do wonders. Good luck finding your zen!
