Transport options visitors can use
AICTSL was set up in 2006 to establish new public bus services in Indore.
Its route information portal has sections for routes, locations, bus timings and smart-card top-ups. Use those tools to check whether a service fits your journey, rather than relying on a route name alone. The Indore metro map and status may also help when you are checking which transport services to plan around.

What to verify before setting out
Check the relevant route, location and bus-timing information before leaving, and confirm smart-card top-up details if you plan to use one. The Airports Authority of India says AICTSL city buses are available outside Indore Airport, serving destinations including Tejaji Nagar, Railway Station and Bhanwar Kua on routes 7 and 11.
If you are arriving by air, how to get from Devi Ahilyabai Holkar Airport to The Ashoka Hotel is another part of planning your trip.
Bus routes and timings can change, so check the official site before you go.
