1. Lagbus: It is either blue coloured or red coloured. These have a separate and exclusive lane. Cars have to wait for the bus to pass before crossing their lane.
2. Downfo: These are yellow coloured mini vans. The conductor is usually leaning out of the vans to attract passengers. They do have designated stops, yet, can stop absolutely anywhere!! These are quite dangerous for cars, my driver usually steers clear of these. Reminds you of Blueline in Delhi right? :):)
3. Okadas: These are bikes that carry passengers to and fro (like 'pilots' in Goa). They too have a designated stops, yet behave similarly to Downfo.This is more expensive than Downfo, as the journey is customized.
Helmets are not compulsory here, though some Okada drivers do wear. My son always tells such drivers that they are good boys because they are wearing helmets!!! Triply is also not strictly prohibited.
4. Autos: Yes!!! Good old Bajaj autos are there!! These do not ply on all roads, maybe due to some regulation.
5. Taxis: Yellow taxis are available; usually battered and relics!! But people do use these.
Pls note: Ex pats do not travel by any of these. Maybe these are risky, anyways ex pats have cars and drivers.
