From Where to get Auto Rickshaws in Delhi ISBTs and Railway Stations -Tips for the travelers

Prepaid Autos and Taxis in Delhi

Millions of people visit Delhi, the Capital of India every month. The reasons may be official work, vacations, Political reasons, meetings, etc. The first thing that anyone experiences while entering Delhi at the ISBT or Railways stations or Airports is the problem of getting a reasonable Auto Rickshaw or a Taxi to reach your destination. The Auto Rickshaws in the ISBTs in Delhi will always ask for triple the amount for dropping you at your place. Even if you negotiate you will end up paying double amount.

Anybody who has travelled either over night or for the entire day is already tired when he reaches Delhi from the other states. The arguements with Auto Walas make the situation even worse and leave you frustrated and you try one, two, three or even more Autorickshaws but finally out of frustration and tiredness you succumb to the demands of Autorickshaw drivers.

From Where to get Auto Rickshaws in Delhi ISBTs and Railway Stations -Tips for the travelers

Whenever you arrive at the railway station or ISBT bus stands in Delhi number of Auto Drivers and Taxi Drivers will approach you but just do not get into bargaining fares with them because you will still pay too much to them. Outside all ISBT Bus Stands and Railway stations in Delhi there are Pre Paid Auto Rickshaw Booths and Prepaid Taxi Booths are available. You simply go to these booths, Delhi traffic Police Cops will be there. Pay your Auto fare there, get a slip and auto number given by the traffic cop. This way you will not be charged extra and you will have a safe journey because the Auto’s Number would be registered at the Booth along with the destination where it has been hired for.
