Delhi to Agra by Deluxe Coach

bs2428 · Nov 29th, 2005, 04:03

Having travelled by Coach from Delhi to Agra recently, I would strongly advise prospective travellers to use alternative mode either train or private car hire. In our experience the Coach company (trip arranged by SAGAR Travel of Delhi - complete morons for short) spent more time stopping at various shopping precincts and less time at places like TAJMAHAL or AGRA FORT. Also the driver was an hour late setting of in the morning and due to an earlier accident had to make all sorts of diversions resulting in complete waste of trip. So be warned, and stay away from these dogdy coach companies and travel independently.

Always better to do it by train or your own or hired car for selectively using your time in doing what you like best at these places. The buses are always looking for more passengers if they are not full and so they keep going around in circles inside the city before they finally leave for their destination. They also do not give enough time to let you see what you come from so far like the Taj Mahal or the Agra Fort. Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Aadil.

I would always recommend travel by train & hiring a local transport for sight seeing at your own pace.
