FAQs on Prayagraj

How can I commute within Prayagraj?

Ola cabs are easily available and the most convenient mode of transport within the city. Other than that, autorickshaws as well as cycle-rickshaws are easily available here. Since the city is not too large and traffic is not much of an issue, you can use cycle-rickshaws for traveling, even all the way upto Sangam banks.
There are a couple of bus routes as well but they mostly run through the residential parts of the city, not the touristy places, so don't depend on them too much.
