Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport

Located just over 10km from Ahmedabad, the airport serves regular local and international flights. Travelers can reach the city by auto rickshaw or taxi (pre-paid service available at the counter), as well as public transport. AMTS buses stopping at "Airport Circle" or "Sardarnagar Approach" run to the city at regular intervals; reaching these stops will, however, require a several hundred meters walk towards Airport Road.

Public Transport

Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) provides public bus services around the city. AMTS buses tend to get overcrowded, and stops are often not announced - inquire with the driver as to the destination and request to be notified of arrival. BRTS buses are a newer alternative to the AMTS bus system and are a much faster, more efficient way of getting around the city. These buses run in central parts of roads and feature modern bus stops where tickets may be purchased. Note that ticketing in the two bus systems is not integrated, and passengers are required to pay separate fares for the two.
