You can use Auto’s or CTU Buses to get around \[Chandigarh Transport Undertaking\]. There are two ISBT’s: Sector 43 & Sector 17. \[[Official Website](https://www.chdctu.gov.in/)\] Google Maps are usually accurate for buses. Tricity Bus App makes it all much easier. \[[Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ctulivetrack&hl=en_IN)\] \[[Apple App Store](https://apps.apple.com/in/app/trycitybus/id1527553948)\] Uber/Ola/Rapido work great in the city, you don’t need to wait a whole lot and are easily available. Strongly recommended to stay away from InDrive, drivers are often rude, cars aren’t maintained at all and customer care is non-existent. # Specific Markets to Discover 1.

They have incredibly low authenticity, don’t go after what they’re recommending or doing, it’s probably just pretentiousness on their part. All of them deserve the hate. Only two pages I’d recommend following are: [Chandigarhzero172](https://www.instagram.com/chandigarhzero172/) | [Chandigarhbackstory](https://www.instagram.com/chandigarhbackstory/). I would love to hear what more you'd love to see in the list and what things may be don't belong on here. Have a great day ahead.
