Gundavali Bus Stop — in the Gundavali Gaothan area of Andheri East, Mumbai — is one of the western suburban corridor’s most multi-modal and most transit-complete bus stops, distinguished above all by its extraordinary proximity to two overlapping Metro infrastructure elements: the Gundavali Metro Station on Mumbai Metro Line 7 (Red Line) is directly at the location, and the Western Express Highway Metro Station on Line 1 is connected to Gundavali via a 58-metre foot overbridge. This Metro-on-Metro convergence makes the Gundavali Bus Stop one of the very few bus stops in all of Mumbai from which passengers can directly access two separate Metro lines — Line 1 (the original east-west corridor) and Line 7 (the Red Line north-south corridor) — without taking any other form of transport.
The BEST bus stop and the broader Gundavali zone on Azad Nagar Road serve the dense residential colony of Gundavali Gaothan — one of Andheri East’s most established old village settlements — along with the commercial and film industry establishments that give this particular corner of Andheri its distinctive character.
