The way to get around if you dont have a friend who can take you around, is by auto-rickshaws. Agree on a price before you get in if possible, find out what it should be. Pay once they get you there... logically. Actually I found the turns in the Delhi auto-rickshaws less nerve-wrecking than those of the Bangkok tuk-tuk. Another interesting thing is that at major intersections there is a timer letting the traffic know when the next green light will be. This encourages drivers to turn their engines off. While waiting at an intersection sellars of magazines, sun-shields etc. may come to your window and sometimes beggars too. They move on reasonably quickly when you apppear dis-interested.

At least once, take a ride in this contraption. Choose an older driver, less likely to take a risk.
