Reizigersadvies

Vervoersmogelijkheden

Autorikshaw (Tuk-tuk)/ Taxi/ Uber

These transports are the best available choices in Trivandrum and around Kerala. When it comes to taxis or transport booked via apps, Trivandrum city still has to get adapted to it as there are other very affordable public means like the very convenient "Pre-paid autorikshaw/taxi" booth at every main Railway station (Trivandrum Central) and Public bus terminal (Thampanoor and East Fort). This allows travellers to rent a transport from the booth to the decided destination at a fixed price allotted by the Kerala Government rates (which avoids bargaining and quarrels with drivers on price!).
