Karjat (station code: KJT/S for South (local)) is a railway station on the Central line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. Karjat is a major rail terminus, connected via local trains to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai, Khopoli and Panvel[1]

Regular shuttle trains run between Karjat and Pune. Located about halfway between Mumbai and Pune, the town is a famous stop to buy Vada pav, (a popular potato savoury originated from here) when travelling by train between the two cities. Almost all long distance and all short-distance trains halt here.

A new broad-gauge railway started between Karjat and Panvel and harbour railway line now stands extended up to Karjat.

Karjat has a bus terminal near railway station in Bhisegaon. It is well connected to other cities in and around the state by Maharashtra's state-owned passenger buses.
