Transportation in Agra

# Getting Around Agra Agra's transportation network caters primarily to the millions of tourists visiting the Taj Mahal and other Mughal monuments. Within the city, auto-rickshaws are the most common mode for short trips, though metered taxis and app-based ride services like Ola and Uber operate throughout tourist areas. For first-time visitors, pre-paid auto-rickshaw and taxi counters at major sites help avoid fare disputes. The city is compact enough that many hotels are within reasonable distance of the main attractions, though traffic can be heavy during peak tourist season. For airport transfers, Agra's Kheria Airport has limited commercial service, with most international visitors arriving via Delhi (approximately 230km away). Those flying into Agra can arrange hotel pickups or use pre-paid taxi services at the terminal. However, most travelers reach Agra by train from Delhi or other major cities, arriving at Agra Cantt railway station, where pre-paid taxi and auto-rickshaw counters provide fixed-rate transport into the city. **Quick tip**: If arriving by train, use the official pre-paid transportation counters inside the station rather than negotiating with drivers outside—this ensures fair pricing and avoids common tourist scams.
