Indira Gandhi International Airport, one of the busiest in all of Asia and the busiest airport in India, serves as the entrance to New Delhi, the nation's capital. The fact that New Delhi is a distinct neighbourhood within the bigger metropolis of Delhi just adds to the confusion for a visitor to India for the first time. Although travelling in India can be stressful, as long as you plan your route before departing, everything should go smoothly.
It costs less than a $1 to use public transit, which includes the contemporary metro and city buses. The inhabitants' preferred mode of transportation is the bus, however if you're unfamiliar with the area or utilising buses in India, it can be complicated. With only a short ride of 10 miles (16 kilometres) into Delhi's city centre, taking a taxi is the most popular and hassle-free option for foreign tourists.
Cheapest Way to Travel It is an outrageously affordable way to go to the city centre if you are familiar with using the Delhi bus system. It is constantly a possibility because buses operate often and continuously. Bus fares shouldn't be more than 50 cents and can vary in price depending on how many stops it makes and whether it has air conditioning. Major downtown locations including Connaught Place, New Delhi Railway Station, the Red Fort, and the Interstate Bus Terminus at Kashmere Gate are among the stops.
Ask the driver before boarding to confirm that the bus is travelling in the direction you need it to go because buses aren't always clearly marked with their destinations. Buses that stop frequently are more likely to become crowded and take longer, although Delhi traffic is the major factor. In a metro region with close to 30 million residents, congestion is essentially inevitable, and it's impossible to forecast when it will be particularly terrible. If you decide to take the bus, give yourself a lot of time to arrive.
Fastest Way to Travel The easiest and quickest way to go from the airport to the city is via vehicle. Given that the distance between the airport and the city centre is less than 10 miles, the drive should only take 20 to 60 minutes, depending on traffic.The most common choice is pre-paid taxis because they are controlled by the Delhi Traffic Police and you prepay the fare at a counter in the airport. Keep in mind before purchasing your ticket that these green and white vehicles are outdated and do not have air conditioning. Metered private taxis cost a few dollars more than pre-paid taxis on average, but they are modern and nearly always have air conditioning. You can even travel through Delhi Metro Airport Express train line, known as the Orange Line, which runs from New Delhi to airport metro. Its superfast, convenient and economical option.
