Finding your way through Mumbai’s four (Western, Central, Harbour and Trans-Harbour) distinct rail lines can be an ordeal, especially for the out-of-towners. Most commuters rely on fellow passengers, while others use maps available on the Internet, poorly printed timetable booklets or charts pasted at railway platforms. While these act as helpful guides, few are as aesthetically appealing and informative as the recent versions created by two students -- Snehal Patil and Jaikishan Patel -- of Visual Communication at Industrial Design Centre, IIT Bombay.
