Getting Around Coimbatore

Intra city buses are the cheapest mode of conveyance but may be a challenge for a newcomer. If you do venture out on them and get stranded, ask the locals who are extremely helpful. Auto-rickshaws are the more expensive jaw-jarring option. Cabs and rented cars are most convenient and it is possible to hire them for the trip to Ooty too.
