In Conclusion

The perks of purchasing a City Safari Mumbai Ticket are only applicable to those in Mumbai. The specific nature of the benefits means it can only be recommended to dedicated players who will be in the city during the event. While the extra benefits might be useful to players interested in Raids or hatching eggs, the restrictive nature of the ticket makes it hard to recommend for casual Pokemon GO players.
