Circular train, Kolkata
If I understood correctly, the circular train used to be a single connected loop, but with extensions added over the years, it now runs in segments. Not suffocatingly crowded like Kolkata's other suburban train lines--yes, ladies absolutely want to be on the women-only cars for those!--this is a cheap and fascinating way to see the city, with river views, glimpses of urban villages, and the bustle of commuters on-board.
