Auto Rickshaw
You can travel using auto rickshaw or the tempo called Vikram. Vikram is the cheapest mode of transport but a pain to travel. However, Vikram drivers have a fixed rate for point-to-point travels and its an experience in itself when 10 people +driver travel in one Vikram. The quality of auto rickshaws in Kanpur is also pathetic and there is not fixed rate or meter system. You have to bargain with the driver.
Cycle Rickshaw

Car Taxi
Private taxis like Ambassdor,Vans and other cars are available from Canal Road Taxi Stand and from various hotels and travel agencies.
