🚇 Getting Around

Delhi

Delhi has excellent public transport anchored by the massive Metro system. Auto-rickshaws, ride-hailing apps (Uber and Ola), and cycle rickshaws fill the gaps. Traffic is notoriously congested, especially during rush hours. The Metro is usually the fastest way to get around.

Walkability: Delhi is not a walkable city overall — distances are vast, sidewalks are often broken or nonexistent, and traffic is aggressive. However, specific areas are great for walking: Old Delhi (Chandni Chowk to Jama Masjid), Connaught Place, Lodhi Garden area, and Hauz Khas Village. Always carry water and sun protection.

Delhi Metro — ₹10-60 (~$0.12-0.72) depending on distance

Uber / Ola — ₹100-500 (~$1.20-6) for most city trips

Auto-rickshaws — ₹30-200 (~$0.36-2.40) for short-to-medium trips

Tashkent

Tashkent has an efficient metro system and affordable ride-hailing. The city is spread out, so walking between major sights requires planning.

Walkability: Moderate — the old city area around Chorsu is walkable, but major sights are spread across the city. Wide Soviet-era boulevards can make walking distances deceptive.

Tashkent Metro — 1,400 sum (~$0.11 USD) per ride

Yandex Go / MyTaxi — 10,000-30,000 sum ($0.80-2.40 USD) for most trips

City Buses — 1,400 sum (~$0.11 USD) per ride

The Verdict

Choose Delhi if...

you want India's power capital — Red Fort, Jama Masjid, Qutub Minar, Humayun's Tomb, Chandni Chowk old-Delhi street food, and the gateway to Agra + Jaipur

Choose Tashkent if...

you want Central Asia's modern hub — Soviet-era metro art stations, Chorsu Bazaar, Khast Imam, and high-speed Afrosiyob trains to Samarkand
