Mass transit is available indirectly via a short taxi or bus ride to Mo Chit, where passengers can connect to the BTS Skytrain and MRT; there are no direct rail links at Don Mueang itself.

Public transportation is efficient and budget-friendly: suburban trains connect to Vile Parle (East) for the domestic terminal and Andheri (East) for the international terminal, while BEST buses (routes 312, 321, and 308) link the airport to these railway stations, and the Mumbai Metro serves the airport via the CSMIA Airport T2 and T1 stations.
