For other places, it will depend on the student’s budget for transportation may depend on how far he/she lives from the University.

Licensed taxis are painted orange and white or pink and white for female taxis. It works on two bases: ‘engaged’, which means you take the taxi for your own ride till you arrive at your destination. This option is, of course, more expensive. The other option is known as ‘shared’ in which you can have other passengers riding the taxi with you, which makes the fare cheaper.
