Local Transport Rules :
- Auto Rickshaws: The most reliable and easily available mode of transport in the city. During the day, always pay by the meter. After 10pm the drivers charge 50% over the meter and after mid night double the meter.
- Private Taxis : There are many Car rental companies available. Check with your hotel car rental companies. They are generally reliable and affordable.
- Buses : Buses are plenty but crowded too. We recommend intercity buses from KSRTC for your travel.
- Tongas : These horse driven carts can take you through the city at their own pace. If you have the time this mode of seeing the city is recommended as this could provide you with rare sights and smell of the town.
