Getting around
By metro :
Three lines of the new Delhi Metro are now open and
provide
a hassle-free way of zipping around the city. Line 2, in particular,
is useful for getting to the Old Delhi and New Delhi railway
stations as well as the ISBT bus terminal.
By taxi :
Taxis or rental car are required to see many of the far-flung
sites around and just outside Delhi. To get a taxi or a rental car,
you have to go to a taxi stand; they are not usually flagged from
the street. There is also a service called dial-a-cab. The number is
1090. You shouldn't take non-official taxis, sometimes they take you
to a wrong hotel, or to a "tourist information center", and try to
sell you overpriced things.
By autorickshaws : Autorickshaws are good for shorter trips.
Autorickshaws are three-wheeled partially enclosed contraptions that
can seat three people in the back and usually run on CNG, petrol or
diesel, mostly CNG in Delhi. Although by law the rickshaw driver
have to charge by the electronic meter in their vehicles, they will
almost always try to haggle for price. |
