Juhu has two identities that coexist without friction — the celebrity address that houses Bollywood’s most recognisable names along its tree-lined residential streets, and the people’s beach that draws Mumbaikars of every income level to its evening food stalls, the bhel puri, pani puri, and vada pav vendors whose collective fragrance defines the specific sensory experience of a Mumbai beach evening. The BEST bus station serving this Andheri West suburb sits within this dual identity, providing the daily mobility infrastructure that connects Juhu’s residential and hotel zones to the broader Mumbai bus and metro network.
The Juhu Bus Station on the North-South Road No.9 axis in Andheri West is served by BEST with multiple routes — Route 231 (Santacruz Station West to Juhu Bus Station, 13 stops, 13 minutes), Route 255 LTD, Route 627, Route A-256 AC (Malvani Depot to Juhu Bus Station, 46 stops, 44 minutes), and Route A-56 AC. The Juhu Beach Bus Station — a closely related stop approximately 85 metres from the beach — handles routes 203, 224, 231, 255 LTD, 28, A-203, 56, and A-56. The first service from the Juhu Beach stop is Route 56 at 5:35 AM and the last is Route 224 at 12:22 AM.
