Public transportation
Urban Areas: Major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata feature well-integrated networks. Delhi’s Metro is a modern, efficient system with widespread coverage, while Kolkata offers India's only operational tram system. City buses are common, though often crowded. Ride-hailing services like Ola and Uber are widely available for convenience.
Intercity Travel: The Indian Railways network, one of the largest globally, connects cities and towns with varying classes of service, from budget-friendly to luxurious trains like the Palace on Wheels. Long-distance buses, including private operators, link areas not covered by trains.
Rural Areas: Public transport options like local buses and shared auto-rickshaws are available, but services may be irregular.
Auto-Rickshaws and Taxis: Auto-rickshaws are common for short distances in cities and towns. Always agree on a fare or insist on a meter.
Ferries: Coastal and island regions, such as Kerala and the Andaman Islands, rely on ferries for connectivity.
