Commuting Within Jaipur

Autos are the most viable mode of transport except for when it gets too hot. Cabs also are very easily available. The city bus, a new addition for the tourists is a hop-on-hop-off service which is quite efficient. Though normal bus service is also available, we wouldnt recommend it for the tourists. Also, the Jaipur metro is soon supposed to start, which will make transportation extremely efficient.
