I realise that this is a much needed job for thousands of Rickshaw-wallahs, and they are certainly the only form of transport during the monsoon, when Kolkatas streets become rivers.
These men are however, often exploited by the conglomorates that own the rickshaws.They are paid a pittance for a ride, and then have to pay the owners of the rickshaws so much per day for the use of the rickshaw.
I therfeore implore you- if you feel the necessity to use one- give a good tip, and do not wrangle about the cost. Its only a few rupees anyway. It is very hard work to drag people around the streets of Kolkata. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Stuck in a Taxi in Traffic- a
nightmare! by lynnehamman, 1 more photos
We used it on a daily basis. It costs only a few rupees per trip.
Taxis are good - but make sure that the meter is switched on. The fares are cheap.
The only problem that we encountered with taxis was that the drivers SAY that they know where you want to go, then end up taking you to some other place! Maybe its a language problem- maybe not.But its very frustrating, sitting in the noisy crazy traffic of Kolkata, not having any idea where you may end up. We eventually decided to find someone,anyone, who could speak some English, and they would then explain to the Taxi driver where to take us. It hel[ed a lot. Leave a Comment Theme: Subway/Metro

 The yellow cabs in Kolkata-
commuters' relief! by Kumarjit |
I had heard from a friend that the Rajdhani Express was the way to get from Delhi to Calcutta. From their stories I expected wing back chairs and sterling silver service as we made out way from west to east across the subcontinent. After waiting in line at the Delhi train station for hours and getting nowhere, (those nicely saried ladies have sharp elbows) I went to the Soviet Student Travel Agency to get my tickets. Ended up with A/C first class standby. The day of the train, my name wasn't posted on any of the car rosters or even on the standby list. So ran back over the bridge across 16 lines of trains in 100F and 100% humidity and ended up at the same ticket counter I had been unsuccessful at earlier in the week. Finally got to the front and was told that a seat was available in car 2. Ran back, grabbed my stuff and hopped on Car 2 as it started to roll out of the station. No open seat.
After a long discussion, it was determined that a seat was open in Car 1. So back I went, gathered my stuff and found my seat.
No wing backed chairs or sterling service, but it was quite comfortable and the tea and food served just fine. We left Delhi at 1700 and were supposed to arrive Calcutta the next day at 1000AM. But something was wrong with the signal system and we had to stop at every cross track along the way, sometimes for a half hour - waiting and listening for another train before we proceeded. We arrived in Calcutta about 1800, just as the sun was setting. No beds, just kind of napped where you sat. Seats were like a yellow school buses - vinyl. And they were very proud of their air conditioning - seemed like it was 50F the whole time.
But while it wasn't as luxurous as I had expected, the views along the way and the conversations with my fellow passengers were very enjoyable.
I've learned since that the best way to get good seats at a reasonable price is to book ahead, either thru a travel agent or online. Leave a Comment
