Well travelling inter city is a tough call if your not living here, all the metro polish city got so many thugs and this is why we want to secure our self from them to save our hard earn money.
well I’m living in rohtak, here traveling is easy no auto driver are thugs they ask for the same nominal amount 10rs beside delhi is thug place, auto driver will cheat you every time.
I always prefer to traveling through metro or bus, beside taxi is good alternative method, if you got handsome amount, either stick to bus or metro.
this is what I would suggest, well rest you can see with self and depending on situation
