Everyone talks about negotiating private tuk-tuks but shared autos are way cheaper if you're not in a rush. Agra cantt station to taj east gate, shared autos run every 10 minutes for just ₹20 per person.

Look for the white and green autos with "taj mahal" painted on the side. They follow fixed routes and you can hop off anywhere along the way. ₹20 vs ₹250 for private ride — Worth it if traveling solo.
