No pre-paid auto, and it's just as well. You'd have no kidneys left when you got there. If you want pre-paid, take a taxi.

auto rickshaw will cost not less than 250 Rs.

I would suggest radio cabs which local delhi people used to commute whenever needed.. they charge somewhere around 300 Rs to Pahar Ganj @ Rs 7.50 per km.

good ones with controlled temparature.
one of them is 91-11-43434343 check others on internet

I started a sticky!

I am truly humbled.

I ended up taking a cab, not a prepaid one either. The dude took me to like 4 different places trying to sell me a package tour. Needless to say, I sure as hell wish I'd just taken a prepaid taxi and forgotten the idea of the EATS bus. As soon as I stepped outta the airport the taxi drivers spotted me, their fresh meat, and I was surrounded by cabbies.

Oh....the hilarity of it all now....if only I'd known what it was really like before I posted my initial post here on IM.
