How is Delhi Transportation?

A DTC conductor tears off the ticket at two places: One, at the point where you board, and, two, your destination point.

Apart from this you can also book a radio cab, which are available twenty fours hours and can be booked over the phone or the internet. These cabs are clean and come fitted with functional meters and GPS, though be prepared to pay a bit extra for these cabs.

Cheaper than taxis, auto rickshaws are a quick and cheap alternative to get around the city. Auto rickshaws, or autos, as they are popularly known, are supposed to charge Rs.25 for the first kilometer and Rs.8 thereafter. Though in some cases auto drivers may refuse to ply by the metre and also tend to overcharge.
