At Delhi Airport, we provide a complimentary bus which shuttles between terminals every 20 minutes. To ensure a seamless experience to the passengers, signages are placed right after the baggage checkpoints.
Once you are done with baggage checks, follow the signages to reach the complimentary shuttles. You will be required to present identification documents to the officials in charge at the kiosks, for your onward journey. The officials will then provide you with the coupon for the complimentary transit bus, after which you can proceed to board the bus.
