Telegraph service tends to be unreliable. Many international air carriers provide service to New Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, and Madras. Indian Airlines has flights to many Indian cities. The railway system provides service throughout the country. Local transportation includes buses, taxis, three-wheeled scooters, cycle rickshaws, and horsedrawn tongas.
