# Ahmedabad/West Zone

Ahmedabad West Zone is in the metropolitan city of Ahmedabad. It consists of areas of Motera, Chandkheda, Sabarmati, Vadaj, Usmanpura, Navrangpura, Ambawadi, Paldi, Vasna, etc.

## Get in
#### From airport to West Zone areas

* Areas of Motera, Chandkheda and Sabarmati can be accessed through Airport -> Airport Road -> Airport Circle -> Indira Bridge -> SP Ring Road -> Tapovan Circle -> Visat - Gandhinagar Highway.
* Areas of Vadaj, Usmanpura, Navrangpura, Ambawadi, Paldi, etc. can be accessed through Airport -> Airport Road -> Shahibaug -> Dudheshwar -> Ashram Road.
* Areas near Vasna can be accessed through Airport -> Airport Road -> Shahibaug -> Dudheshwar -> Subhash Bridge -> 132 ft Ring Road.

#### For Motera, Chandkheda, Sabarmati, or Vadaj

Some trains, especially those from Delhi/Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, stop at Sabarmati. There are 2 railway stations named Sabarmati Railway Station or Sabarmati Junction. The one with station code 23.07633172.5888511 SBI (in Sabarmati area). is for Northern trains (Delhi/Rajasthan) and the other with station code 23.07155472.5871342 SBT (in Ranip area). is for Central trains. Not all trains passing through these stations stop here, i.e. they might just pass by. Confirm through Indian Rail if the official stop is mentioned. If not, you will have to get down at the main Ahmedabad Railway Station (station code: ADI) in Kalupur area in Central Zone. From there, you may find a train going to Sabarmati (it takes 10-15 min). Otherwise, city bus services of BRTS and AMTS are available.

#### For Usmanpura, Paldi, Ambawadi, and Vasna

23.02531572.6008923 Ahmedabad Railway Station. (ADI) in Kalupur (Central Zone) is closer to these areas, and it also has more services, and the trains stop for more duration.

#### From railway stations to West Zone areas
##### Ahmedabad Railway Station (ADI)

It is in the area of Kalupur (Central Zone). It has a road-side Janmarg BRTS stand within the campus of the railway station, which is just outside the main entrance of the railway station. It is directly served by BRTS buses on the Line no. 9 towards RTO Circle and towards Ellisbridge and Line no. 10 towards Vasna. AMTS also directly serves the station to various parts of the city.

##### Sabarmati Junction (SBI)

It is in the neighbourhood of Sabarmati. It is served by BRTS buses through the BRTS stations of either Sabarmati Powerhouse (closer to the railway station) or Sabarmati Police station, both on Line no. 8 towards Maninagar and towards Visat Junction (serving the suburb of Chandkheda. It is also served by AMTS buses directly.

### By state bus (GSRTC)

23.01547472.591814 Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation (GSRTC). has its main bus terminus at Gita Mandir in Central Zone. But there are various stops in the city. In West Zone, Sabarmati, Vadaj and Paldi are the stops. But the bus will only reach here if they are in the route. For example, a bus from South Gujarat will stop at these places if it has further journey north, i.e. more towns after Ahmedabad in North Gujarat such as Gandhinagar, Ambaji, and Palanpur. It's better to ask the bus conductor about the stops, or the most viable stop for you according to where you want to go next.

## Get around
### By city bus (AMTS)

A lot of AMTS buses are available on several routes. Old Vadaj (Juna Vadaj) is an AMTS depot. Also buses are available to/from SVP International Airport in North Zone.

### By city bus (BRTS)

BRTS buses are faster than AMTS due to dedicated lanes in the roads' central portion. Choose them over AMTS whenever the option is available.
All the BRTS buses and the stations are wheel-chair accessible, as the floor of the gate of the bus is of the same level as the platform of the stations, and there are ramps from road to the elevated platforms on the stations; except those of RTO Circle and Kalupur Railway Station, which are road side shelters unlike the standard BRTS stations.
* Line 8, from Maninagar (South Zone), covering a wide portion of 132 ft Ring Road, serves Motera-Chandkheda ending at Chandkheda Gam station.
* Line 2, from Naroda (North Zone), and Line 10, from Kalupur (Central Zone), serves Vasna ending at Anjali Cross Roads station.
* Line 9, from RTO Circle (West Zone), serves Vadaj (via Juna Vadaj station), ending at Townhall (Ellisbridge) station in the Ellisbridge area. But this route reaches Ellisbridge after passing through Kalupur in Central Zone which makes the portion a U-shape. Also this route is a heavy-traffic zone, and considerable portion of the route is not having dedicated BRTS lanes, so the buses have to travel in mixed traffic mode, i.e. along with the other vehicles.

## Drink

Gujarat is one of the few Indian states where alcohol is prohibited. But this applies only to Indians. If you have a non-Indian passport, green card holder, or PR status, you can get an alcohol permit valid for one month by going to a liquor shop large hotel and purchasing one at their liquor shop. Hotels that have liquor shops include: Cama Hotel in Khanpur, Hotel Inder Residency, Opp. to Gujarat College, Comfort Inn President Hotel at CG Road among others open M-Sa from noon to 8PM, phone +91 79 26467575. Many local people will be able to direct you because they can purchase alcohol on a 'health' licence. If you are non-resident of Gujarat, then one can get liquor permits issued at liquor shop on showing proof of travel to Ahmedabad like (1) air, train, or bus ticket, (2) any Identity proof by Govt. with Photo, Address & birthdate preferably driving licence and (3a) your Ahmedabad Local address proof like Residence Address of Local friend/relatives electric/telephone bill/ driving licence or (3b) Proof of stay at hotel
However, if you are staying longer you will need a non-resident permit. For that, you will need: a photocopy of passport including your entry stamps, a photocopy of visa, a photocopy of a local resident’s ID card (drivers license will probably be easiest). As of January 3, 2009, ₹1000 (although the person may ask for ₹50 extra as a bribe but should not be given). Note: If you can get a local person to go with you, the entire experience will be a lot easier.
But booze is strictly a private affair and don't expect to order a drink at a restaurant (obviously there are no bars here) and you will have to drink in your hotel room or at someone's home. If someone invites you to a party, there is a good chance you will be offered a drink there. Under a new amendment to the law prohibiting alcohol, you cannot be arrested or detained for consuming alcohol illegally unless you misbehave under influence or indulge in bootlegging. However, it is best to consume alcohol at your hotel room or at a very close friends place. Majority of the guests staying at a hotel consume it in their rooms and there is always an implied consent from the hotel who will serve you ice, soda and glasses.
Many small shops sell lassi (a yogurt drink). Lassi choices include: sweet, salty, with almonds. Farki, Girish Cold Drinks and Krishna Dairy are some of the famous ones. Apart from this, Janta Ice Cream and Cold Drinks offers a delicious drink cold Chocolate Coco, a chocolate flavored thick - shake. Janta has its shops across Ahmedabad. There is also a very wide variety of fruit juices available. Most large places like HavMor are reputable and use good water, you should exercise care when drinking at smaller places. Besides, Ahmedabad is a place where most ice cream is consumed in the world. You would love to test many of the local brands like Havmore, Chills Thrills & Frills, and Rajsthan Ice Cream.
