"Transportation and infrastructures
By rail
Being located on the national corridor of railways the city of Kanpur is well connected with the rest of India by rail services. eg. Shadabti express from Delhi to Kanpur
It also lies on Kolkata - New Delhi rail link and hence is connected with Rajdhani expresses (multiple of them - Howrah rajdhani, Guwahati rajdhani, bhubhaneshwar rajdhani)
By air
Monday to Saturday : If flying from Delhi, you can take Air India (fomerly Indian Airlines) flight no. IC 7801 to Kanpur. If flying from any other city, you can take an Air India (fomerly Indian Airlines) flight to Delhi (get your luggage checked through to avoid confusion - Air India offers the service), and then take Air India flight number IC 7801 from Delhi to Kanpur.
Sunday : You may take a flight to Lucknow and then drive to Kanpur (1hr drive). If there is no direct flight to Lucknow, you may take a flight to New Delhi/Kolkata/Mumbai and then a flight to Lucknow and then drive to Kanpur.
Get around
The public transport system in Kanpur is not really great. You can travel using auto rickshaw, cycle 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. 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. Similarly, with cycle rickshaws there is no standard or norm for the price. A bus service is also there but it is still not very popular."
