AC LOUNGE

Arrived in Madgaon, need to relax and take a bit of rest? AC Lounge is where you should be!!

Madgaon has a wonderful AC Lounge operated by Konkan Railway. It is

situated on PF-1, near the main exit. Charges are Rs. 25 for 2 hrs and Rs. 35 for 4 hours. Extension in time is available. The attendant was extremely polite and helpful, he asked for my ticket, noted my PNR number and IN time and issued me the ticket. He then asked me to wait for 15-20 minutes since cleaning was going on. An excellent job done by the cleaning staff, the lounge was spick and span with good cooling. The washroom was clean and the dry area near wash-basin had liquid soap. I was lucky enough to have this entire lounge all to myself!!
.
Kudos to KR for this superb facility, other zones might do well to follow KR's footsteps.

Update: The AC Lounge is still being maintained well. The charges have now increased: Rs 50 for the first two hours, an additional Rs 40 for an additional two hours and two more hours would cost you a total of RS 130.

Benjoe Rail Restaurant on PF 1 has a Pure Veg Section. They have super good breakfast items. Puri, Dosa, Neer Dosa, Utappam, Chapati, Idly, Vada, Mangalore bun, etc.. Food is reasonably priced and tastes well. Attached are the pictures.
Its better to have food in the station than outside the station.

1. Which PF side of MAO should I get out through? - I always went to the main side (PF 1), thats where the action is - prepaid taxi, agents offering tours / hotels, scooters, rental taxis etc. Cabs may be cheaper on PF 4 side, but I am not sure if they have a stand there or if you will have to hail a taxi from the road.
2. KTC services: Once you get to KTC stand, you might find various decent local buses (direct/via) to Palolem or Cancona. But the stand is quite away from MAO - around 2 kms. You would need a rikshaw ride to bus stand which might cost you in excess of 100-150 (30-50 rs if
...

you are a local)
3. Renting a scooter - Not a bad option. You will be encountering 20 agents as soon as you step out of PF 1 - offering scooters et cetera. DO NOT pay a rupee unless you have negotiated enough (Non-peak rates 300-350 per day- Activa, 400-500 bullet or similar in non-peak season, add 100-150 more in peak season) AND throughly inspected the vehicle yourselves - watch out for worn out tyres, how old the vehicle is, helmets, brakes, head & tail lights, indicators, horn, scratches etc. (take photos or make a video and whatsapp the owner immediately). Not sure how large your bags are and if they are trolley bags or backpacks. It will be really tough (if not impossible) for 2 or more people with 2 trolleys to travel 35 kms to Palolem (and back for return journey)
I suggest take taxi / bus / passenger train to Palolem and hire a bike there. - rental rates for bikes are 30-40% cheaper at beaches as compared to MAO or bus terminals.

You can get ample prepaid taxis from Madgaon junction. It will be quite expensive compared to the fare for similar distance in any other state. But there is little other choice apart from taking a unreliable public bus. South Goa's famous Palolem beach is around 35 kms from MAO, so expect a one way fare of 1200-1500 at the lower side. If one hails a cab from the road, he will charge a similar amount - especially if the destination is one of the tourist properties.
