Calinurse and Nutella - thanks so much for the metro tips. Just looked and copied the info into my notes.

The good news is I just read a very positive experience of the Delhi HOHO bus, on Indiamike. Enjoy while you can, before Dog's reality-based predictions of beggars and poop on shoes come true.

I hope for all who will be in New Delhi during the POTUS' visit, that the wonderful Qutub Minar will NOT be closed to the general public.

Enclosed aircon buses is a good idea.Not the open top, the dust the grime & pollution in Delhi will sent tourists wheezing back home.

I am pretty sure the Delhi toursit busses ARE enclosed, not open top as in NY, London, etc
