Delhi to Agra Destination Reviews

BS
Easy to find, punctual, confy and the food was good
Delhi to Agra, Train #20172 CC - AC Chair Class, Indian Railways, Nov 12, 2025
AH
On a 4-hour journey, the bus took a 30-minute break 10 minutes before the end! Incomprehensible! And the stop for Agra is right in the middle of the highway with 3 or 4 tuk-tuk drivers waiting to drop you off more than 30 minutes later if you're going to the city center near the Taj Mahal! 👎

A Lot of intense scammers, nobody do nothing to change the situation. Because of that I won't recommend come to India. It's the big defect. I know it's not the train or the railway but as I said before nobody complain enough to change the situation.
