1. Subway
Delhi has an extensive but overcrowded ground transportation network, so the subway often is a more convenient choice. There are 7 subway lines, including an airport express line linking the airport with the downtown area; and dedicated cars are available for “women only” on most trains. The basic metro fare is 6 Rupees and the maximum fare is 22 Rupees, with an incremental fare of 1 or 2 Rupees for every 2 or 3 stations.
2. Bus
The population of Delhi is about 15 million. The bus system handles 60% of the passenger traffic in Delhi and occupies 20% of available road space, so traffic jams are a very serious problem here. Delhi has more than 7,000 buses on more than 600 bus lines, earning Delhi the distinction of operating “The World’s Longest Urban Public Transport Line.
3. Taxi
Prepaid taxi service is available in the downtown area. If you name a destination, the driver will quote a price, which is often negotiable. In downtown Delhi, there is a unique tri-wheeled taxi called Auto Richshaw, which is powered by compressed natural gas and equipped with a fare meter for calculating the cost of each trip. Since this agile beast can weave its way through a traffic jam, it is a very popular means of transport among locals.
Delhi features a tropical monsoon climate with distinct winter, summer and autumn seasons, except the Northern mountain region which is extremely cold and covered by snow all year round.
Summer: from March to September; severely hot; Monsoon season is from July to September with plentiful rainfall and slighter lower temperatures
Autumn: from October to November; moderate temperatures and pleasant weather suited for travel
Winter: December to February with temperatures from 5 to 25 degrees Celsius.
