Getting Around Vijayawada 

Vijayawada offers a variety of transport options to help you navigate the city easily and efficiently. 

By Autorickshaw: Motorised auto rickshaws are widely available and a popular way to travel around the city. Fares are generally negotiable, so it's advisable to agree on the price before starting your journey. Pre-paid auto kiosks at the railway and bus stations offer printed fare receipts to ensure fair pricing. 

By Rickshaw: Though now a rare sight, cycle rickshaws are still an affordable and pleasant way to reach short-distance locations if you manage to find one. 

By Taxi: Traditional taxis are limited in number, but you can book cars through local companies like Jahnavi Car Travels. App-based services like Ola Cabs provide a convenient alternative and can be easily booked via smartphone apps. 

By Bus: Vijayawada is well connected by the APSRTC city bus network, which links the city and its suburbs. Buses can be boarded at stops throughout the city, though timetables are generally not displayed — routes are indicated on the nameplates. During rush hours (mornings and evenings), buses may become overcrowded, so plan accordingly. Tickets are purchased onboard, and exact change is recommended. 

By Car: Self-drive car rentals are also available through various providers for those who prefer independent travel.
