- Vashi Naka is nowhere near Vashi
- Turbhe (the Hindi name for Trombay) is also a place near Vashi
- JVLR ends at Powai as of today...the original plan was (or maybe still is) to extend it to Vikhroli
- Lower Parel is not closer to Parel...if one wants to go to Parel by travelling through WR, the correct station to disembark is Elphinstone Road (remember, "Lower" in terms of railway lingo means more closer to the starting station on the "down" line, that is from Churchgate to Dadar)
- Matunga Road is not equal to Matunga (the Z bridge to cross over from Matunga Road station on the Western Railway to Matunga on the Central Railway takes about 10 minutes by walk)
- Marol Depot v/s Marol Maroshi Depot (these are a few km apart)
- Prabhodhankar Thackeray Udyaan (Charkop) v/s Prabhodhankar Thackeray Chowk (Sewree)
