- Road - A large portion of Goa relies on privately operated buses and government-run buses maintained by the Kadamba Transport Corporation because the state does not have a daily train service.
- Rail - Goa is served by two Railway routes: South Western Railway and the Konkan Railway routes. The former is a line dating back to the colonial period that links the port city of Vasco with Belgaum, Hubli, etc. The Konkan Railway line, which was built in the 1990s and links Margao to cities along India's western coast, is a more recent (and welcome) addition. Roadways were people's preferred method of transportation when traveling from west coast cities like Mumbai before the Konkan Railway line was put into service. The state capital of Panaji lacks a railroad stop. There are two significant railroad stations in Goa: Madgaon and Vasco Da Gama.
