Bus routes are not correctly displayed at bus stops, so best to check directions online or ask a person.

An auto rickshaw, or motor vehicle as it is commonly known, is said to charge 25 rupees for the first kilometer and 8 rupees thereafter. However, in some cases, drivers refuse to drive due to meter readings and tend to overcharge.
- Rickshaw - Bicycle rickshaws are great for destinations that are too long to walk and too short for auto rickshaws or taxis. Cycle rickshaws do not have meters, so it is a good idea to decide on the fare before boarding.
- Taxi - The meter of these taxis usually starts at Rs.15 for the first kilometer for him and after that it is Rs.8.50 per kilometer. These taxis can be found at local taxi stands where you can book a taxi and set a price. You can also book with Ola, Uber, BluSmart or InDriver, depending on your preference.
