There are various other modes of transportation that you can look at. People use “one person taxis” in the form of motorcycles where you are the only passenger. Even if there is a jam, you can reach your destination quickly by using this mode. Along with that, you can use underground trains as well. Although these trains require the passenger to walk from to the station and from the station to their destination, you do not have to face any jams while using them.

With the current modern day technology, you can download applications to get transportation on call. These companies charge on the basis of your destination length.
