The Delhi Metro is the fastest way to get around the city, providing passengers with an efficient and cheap way to see the sights. The metro runs from 4:45 am until 11:30 pm all signs and announcements are made in English and Hindi, but the trains can be extremely crowded during rush hour (9-10am and 5-6pm). The first carriage is reserved for woman only. Tickets cost around R10 - R50 depending on the total distance traveled, a metro card can make journeys more convenient and are sold at the stations, for example, a three-day card costs around R200 with a R50 deposit which is refundable when you return the card.

The metro lines are as follows:

Red Line - Dilshad Garden - Rithala, Yellow Line - Jahangirpuri - HUDA City Center, Gurgaon, Blue Line - Dwarka Sector 21 - Vaishali - Noida City Center, Green Line - Inderlok - Mundka, Violet Line - ITO - Badarpur Border and the Airport Express Line - New Delhi Railway Station - Airport - Dwarka.

Buses in the city can be a cheap yet crowded option for traveling around. They cost around R5 - R15 and depart every 15 - 20 minutes. The red colored buses are Government run DTC buses which are air-conditioned, the green colored are also run by DTC but do not offer air conditioning. The bus routes are not displayed accurately and bus stops can be hard to find.

There are thousands of taxis operating in Delhi and the local taxis can be recognized by their black and yellow color and can be ordered ahead of time by phone or found at Taxi stands around the city. It is recommended to haggle your price before taking a taxi ride, there is a 25% surcharge between 11 pm and 5 am.

In Delhi, there are two types of rickshaws, cycle, and auto most of which are three-wheeled scooters found all over the city. Rickshaws are a great option for a quick trip around the bazaars and short distances costing around R30-50 for a short ride. These yellow and green three-wheelers can carry up to three people and provide an authentic way to get around.
