Public transport is Heavily subsidised. And unprecedented economies of scale available in cramming 3x ++ rated capacities in Mumbai. It is far more expensive and difficult to travel locally outside Mumbai, where public transport is restricted to the odd MSRTC bus in the day or the Mahindra jeep with cram ratios that will make u suffocate to death.
In my opinion Rs 100-Rs150 for a really good quality magazine is not too much. Googling is ok, but having a hard copy still counts. Not everywhere in India do you get good stable Internet
