How locals move
Getting around North Nazimabad Town the local way
- Get aroundMost of Karachi's inhabitants rely on public transport to and from their workplace and do ride in a taxi and auto-rickshaw at least once in the city.
- Get aroundIf you are not used to Pakistani roads, an auto-rickshaw ride can be a heart-stopping, death-defying, laws-of-physics-bending.
- Get aroundRickshaws are a popular method of travelling in Karachi, they're cheap, flexible and are everywhere in the city at any time of day.
- Get aroundIf you need to travel shorter distances, go by rickshaw.
- Get aroundPregnant ladies are most strongly advised not to travel by auto-rickshaws since the combination of rash driving, poor suspensions, and horrible road conditions have quite often led to serious complications.
- Get aroundThe auto-rickshaw is a slow and uncomfortable vehicle and not recommended for very long distances.
- Get aroundThe rickshaw drivers are generally helpful and If a rickshaw driver offers to show/drive you to some great places to shop, firmly refuse.
- Get aroundKarachi is dominated by jingle minibuses which move back and forth around Karachi and are extremely cheap but they’re a confusing bet for the visitors, with numbers, destinations and stops poorly marked, and buses are horribly crowded and noisy.
