City buses

5 tips

  • ✓Board from the front or the door the conductor points to, and buy your ticket from the conductor. Keep small change — ₹10 and ₹20 notes help.

  • ✓Seats near the front are usually reserved for women, senior citizens and people with disabilities.
  • ✓Peak hours are roughly 8–11 am and 5–8 pm. Buses are more frequent then but also more crowded.
  • ✓Check the last bus time on the route page before travelling late in the evening.
🚇

Metro

2 tips

  • ✓Buy a token or use a travel card at the station counter or machine. Keep the token until you exit.
  • ✓The Pink Line connects Mansarovar with the walled city — handy for the Railway Station, Sindhi Camp bus stand and the old markets.

Auto-rickshaws & cabs

1 tip

  • ✓Agree on the fare before you start, or use an app-based ride. For short hops from a bus stop, an auto is often the quickest last mile.
