Hey peeps, need comparison of these cities on the basis of the cost of living and ease of living.
Because for Maintaining lifestyle I think we should consider every aspect of expenditure. And since the time I left Delhi ncr, i haven't had a chance to be in any city which has a closer or better public transport system.
P.S. on quora there are advocates for all 3 cities.
I need a fair opinion on this.
Mumbai
Delhi
Bangalore
Disclaimer: Transport - public transport like metro/local/bus/auto Climate - a general pattern of weather all-around the year, not just one or two extreme events Food - from the perspective of a north indian
I'm a mumbaikar but have also lived for 5+ years in Blore. If you have your own vehicle and your partner rides/drives, Blore is better. If you're dependent on public transport, Mumbai is the best city in the country...hands down. Everything else, both cities are more or less the same.
Point taken. 👌🏻 👍🏻
Mumbai would top based on lifestyle, people and culture but cost of living is also higher.
Pune Rent: Most Affordable. Climate: Better than Mumbai, Okay than Bangalore. Traffic, Public Transport , average fare: Shittier than Mumbai, better than Blr. Culture: Okay-ish, chill.
Mumbai:
Rent: Most Expensive.
Climate: Humid and Hot throughout.
Traffic: Too Much crowd, transportation is good.
Culture: Top-tier. Best.
Bangalore: Rent: Manageable, but now peaking like Mumbai. Climate: Chill af. Comparable to Pune. Traffic: 😐 Culture: Kinda Chill.
Your preference can be Mumbai since you are a Delhiite.
In terms of cost of living only real difference will be rent - mumbai is costliest, followed by Bangalore while Pune is cheap. Transportation costs will be higher in Bangalore and Pune (unless you have a vehicle); mumbai is cheaper in this regard thanks to metro, busses, trains. But difference in transportation cost will likely be around 5k per month; rental costs can vary by as much as 20k per month between Pune and mumbai.
Other than this all other costs are going to be more or less the same tbh. It depends on you &what kind of life you want to lead. Groceries, zomato/Swiggy, restaurants etc. all cost more or less the same on a monthly basis (unless you use these very frequently)
Lifestyle & vibe in all 3 cities are quite different - mumbai is 24/7 hustle city which is “alive” and awake pretty much always; indeed it is the city that never sleeps; while Pune is a lazy sloth that literally takes a nap every afternoon despite waking up late & sleeping early - I kid you not, local shops in Pune are shut in afternoons as people take naps; this kind of behaviour is unheard of in mumbai. Bangalore is somewhere in between with a good mix of both aspects.
Transportation is amazing in mumbai but for BLR and Pune you need to have your own vehicle. Ola/Uber might get expensive. And specifically for Bangalore, Uber/Ola experience is so bad that I’ve had to literally cancel plans with my family multiple times as I could not get any cab. Cab booking experience is so frustrating that Bangalore would make you a recluse reluctant to step out of your home (unless you have a vehicle)
Once you do step out, traffic is bad in all three cities especially at peak office times but with mumbai you get eastern and western express highways which makes for a comfortable travel
Overall all 3 are good cities, you have to figure out which one aligns with your lifestyle
Well written 👌🏻👌🏻
I'm currently in the growth marketing field and based in Delhi. I've recently received job offers from both Mumbai and Bangalore, and I'm trying to decide where to move. I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences about living in ...
Which city do you prefer any day and what are the pros and cons as per your experience in each city if someone plans to decide to settle in any of these cities with their family
Planning on moving to Banglore from Bombay,pretty confused. Peeps who moved to Banglore recently need some thoughts around how it's turning out for you? TIA
