then pakka thane
no shortage of public transport there
in LTT you'll be on your own while you deal with those rickshawallahs.
very close to thane railway station is thane's bus depot (one of the three in thane, other two are at quite some distance)
it...
more... has ample amount of local buses. take any one that goes to panvel (plenty of them) and get off at Nerul LP. cross the road and you'll reach RAIT campus.
which train are you coming BTW??
