[edit]History
The earliest evidence of Thane appears in the works of the Greek geographer, Ptolemy, who, in his writings ( 135
- 150 AD) refers to a place called Chersonesus, which, according to researches, is the area around Thane creek.
The city crops up again in the Middle Ages and slabs and copper plates dating back to the period have beendiscovered in Thane. One of them, dug up from the foundations of Thane Fort in 1787, dated 1078 AD, is

apparently a land grant from Arikesara Devaraja, sovereign of the city of Tagara, wherein he address the
inhabitants of a city called Sri Sthanaka. Friar Jordanus, a great traveler, who visited the city between AD 1321
and 1324, describes it as being under a Muslim governor. He leaves a detailed sketch of early Christians in Thane
and refers to the martyrdom of four Christian priests in the region, more than 200 years before the Portuguese
ever set foot in India. The celebrated Ibn Batuta and Abul Feda, contemporaries of Friar Jordanus, also came
here. They refer to Thane as Kukin Tana and speak of its fame as a port from which ships sailed to the gulf
carrying a kind of cloth called 'Tanasi' which was produced in Thane. Duarte Barbosa, a noted traveler, described
Thane by the name Tana Mayambu 25 years before the Portuguese conquest. He paints a vivid picture of the
town as one of Moorish mosques and temples, with many pleasant gardens. The Portuguese came to Thane
about 1530 and ruled for over 200 years till 1739. Thane was then known as Cacabe de Tana. Work on the Thane
Fort began in 1730. The Marathas, who conquered Bassein and Thane in 1737 and 1739, held sway over the
region till 1784, when the British captured the Fort and ruled Thane, then also called Tana. They made it the
headquarters of the district administration with a district collector stationed in Thane.
The Thane Municipal Council was formed in 1863 when the city had a population of 9000 souls.
[edit]Economy
Thane is witnessing a gradual transition from being a manufacturing hub to an economy driven by services sector.
The State government in general and MIDC in particular are also acting as a catalyst to boost this transition. The
Wagle Estate MIDC is gradually becoming a major IT & ITES, services industry hub. The Ashar IT Park marks a
key milestone towards achieving it.
Most of the global IT & ITES companies have started shifting focus and relocating to Thane on account of its cost
efficiencies and highly skilled low attrition manpower. The IT parks are built using state-of-the-art technology,
packed with all the ingredients comparable to any international IT park.
[edit]Get in
[edit]By plane
The nearest airport is the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport[1], Mumbai. Once you get off, you will need totake a taxi or hire a car. The distance to Thane is about 36 kilometers (22 miles), the drive can take between 45 to
75 minutes depending on the traffic.
[edit]By taxi
Mumbai's taxis are allowed into Thane. The prepaid taxi service available at the airport is the recommended
hassle-free way of getting to Thane. The fare you pay at the counter includes the toll you need to pay when you
leave Mumbai.
[edit]By train
The best way to get to Thane from Mumbai using public transport is to take the local train service.
Although Andheri is the nearest railway station from the airport a better option would be to take an auto-rikshaw toKurla or Ghatkopar station(both these stations fall on the central suburban line) and then board any suburban
Northbound Local Suburban train (all local suburban trains halt at Thane)to Thane. You've the option to board a
fast or a slow train. But better option is to board Thane Local Train which ends at Thane station. Trains can be
located by Abbrevations for example T - Thane so any train with T abbrevation on Digital Train time display will
end at Thane.
The auto-rikshaw ride to Kurla or Ghatkopar stations would cost a little more, about Rs 60 to Rs 70, compared
with Andheri which will be about Rs.40 to Rs.50 but you would end up saving about 1 hour to 1&1/2 hour. An
added benefit is that you get to board a direct train to Thane thus avoiding the change over at Dadar.
Other option if you are coming from the airport is, take an auto-rickshaw to Andheri station which is served by the
Western Railway and buy a ticket to Thane. You need to take a southbound train towards Churchgate, get off at
Dadar (which is the interchange point) if possible avoid peak hour journey if you are new in Mumbai specially
between 8 and 11AM or between 6 and 8PM, get on the Central Railway Line and then take a northbound train to

Thane. This method is recommended only if you are adventurous at heart and are not carrying any luggage.
Thane is also well served by long distance trains, many of which stop at Thane station en route Mumbai.
[edit]By car
Toll gate while entering Thane via Eastern express highway.
Two main roads enter the city from Mumbai. The older one is the Lal Bahadur Shastri Marg (commonly
abbreviated as LBS Marg) and Eastern Express highway. Both of them are toll roads - the toll gate
(called naaka) for the former is called Teen Hath Naka while that for the latter is called Check Naka. The toll at
both the naakas is 30 rupees one way which is somewhat unfair because there is a huge difference in the
condition of the two roads.
LBS marg is invariably congested, encroached upon and potholed. It goes through the heart of
Mumbai'sMumbai/Central Suburbs. The Eastern Express highway is wide, well-maintained and smooth. It goes
through an uninhabited area where development is prohibited. Use this road to get in, even though the distance
will be slightly more. The roads intersect at Marathon chowk ("Marathon square", because that's where the
Thane Mayor's Marathon starts from.). LBS marg then goes right through the city, while the Eastern Expresshighway skirts it and turns into NH - 3 highway to NashikandAgra.
[edit]By bus
There are very few BEST buses that go right up to Marathon Chowk (It is known as "Teen Haath naka")- 399 and
496 Ltd. Once you get off, catch a TMT bus or auto-rickshaw.From this spot Thane railway station is hardly 10-12
min walk if you go by following Gokhale Road , & auto should not cost more than 10-15 Rupees.
BEST bus kinglong number 700 for Borivali, from Thane railway station east, frequency every 15 minutes. early
bus 6.00AM last bus 11.30PM
Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) also called ST bus service from Thane railway station
west frequency every 15 minutes.
BRTS Buses originate from Cadbury Junction for Backbay and Nehru Planetarium
Most private buses from various parts of the country will stop in Thane. Maharashtra State Road Transport
Corporation (MSRTC) buses will ply from various parts of Maharashtra to Thane.
Thane Municipal Transport (TMT) commuters helpline number 1800-22-9901 to get the information about TMT
buses
[edit]By auto-rickshaw
Note that auto-rickshaws from Mumbai cannot enter Thane city limits. You will have to change over to another
one at the toll-gate.
[edit]Get around
The area around Masunda Lake, called Talao pali ("talao" meaning lake) is the heart of the city. Most of the

important landmarks are located here.
[edit]By car
Ram Maruti Road, Gokhale Road and LBS Marg are the important roads to criss-cross this area. The other
important road is Ghodbunder Road which connects the eastern and western halves of the city and joins the
Eastern Express Highway.
[edit]By bus
Thane Municipal Transport (TMT) runs a bus service through the city.
[edit]By auto-rickshaw
The most common way to get around in Thane is to hire an auto rickshaw. Payment is by meter. The amount to
pay, however, is not the amount shown by the meter, but scaled up by a factor which changes whenever there is
a rate adjustment. Check the tariff card for the right fare. Ensure Tariff card is stamped & signed by RTO.It is
better still to know the approximate km to destination and negotiate the charge lumpsum before hand since the
meters are invariably tampered with. e.g Thane to Sion is 15-18 km and fair charge would be Rs. 130-140 (latest
rate) but the meter will show Rs.180-190. Thus fixing 140-150 before sitting saves you a lot of headache.
[edit]By taxi
If you are on a day trip from Mumbai, one of the options is to catch a taxi in Mumbai and use it to go around
Thane city. You cannot flag down taxis in the city as you won't find any, but you can certainly hire one.
