One of the company cars and the bloke is James Bond, he is assigned to get me to and fro and help me find all the things I need in Kolkata. The third trip with James Bond and he has become a friend.

Martinis anyone? Bond looks shaken, Moneypenny looks stirred.

I'd love to get my hand on one of these. They're not very safe for Perth roads I suspect but still... it'd be great for a supermarket run. Brings back memories of my youth in Asia (not euthanasia). They still are around on Indian roads I've been told.

The tut tut it auto as known in India are very popular for small distance transport.i have seen 8 people sharing one tut tut so the must be very strong.the modern ones are very fast and I have also seen the older ones that are pedal driven. Fares range from 7 rupees to 30 rupees which is 15 cents to 60 cents

Underground Metro :

It is the first Underground metro railway system in India.

It is a must visit and travel spot for all those coming to Kolkata.

. One can travel from one part of the city to the other in this underground rail.

The Kolkata Metro or Calcutta Metro is a subway system serving the city of Kolkata.

It was the first such form of transport in India, opening for commercial services in 1984.
