Air

The Vishakapatnam Airport is the busiest Airport in Coastal Andhra. Visakhapatnam is well connected with daily flights from Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Tirupathi and Kolkata. Vishakapatnam Airport has recently received permission to operate night flights and now the airport is working up to 22:00. A new 10,000 foot [3 km] long runway became operational to accommodate international flights and larger aircraft.

Road

Visakhapatnam is one of the major cities on the east coast of India connected by NH5, a major national highway and a part of the Golden Quadrilateral system of Indian highways connecting Chennai and Kolkata.The section of Golden Quadraleteral(NH5) from Kolkata to Chennai connects Visakhapatnam to the North-East and to the South. The highway is an important route for transporting cargo and people from these cities to and from Vizag. Visakhapatnam has a good network of roads. There are frequent buses to Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, Araku and Rajahmundry.  There are even bus services to Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntur, Tirupathi, Bengaluru, Chennai, kolkata and few other parts of Orissa and Karnataka. 

Residents of Visakhapatnam make use of extensive public transport provided by the APSRTC, which runs metro buses across various routes across the city and its suburbs. The APSRTC complex at Asilametta is the hub for most of these buses causing major traffic jams during rush hours on the heavily populated, congested Asilametta Junction. The city corporation is planning to dig subways, construct pedestrian overpasses and flyovers to address the traffic woes.

A Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) was approved for the city under the JNNURM. This will make use of dedicated lanes for buses allowing for an efficient and high speed mode of transport for the public and significantly reduce traffic congestion, improving safety. This project is under construction and will be completed by the end of 2010.

Rail

The railway station at Visakhapatnam is under the control of East Coast Railway of Indian Railways.  It stands on the Chennai Central- Howrah Station route, though the mainline bypasses the Central Station. Consequently a suburban halt on the mainline nearVizag Steel Plant,  known as Duvvada, is being developed into a major station to improve services for the city.

There are direct rail links to Vijayawada Junction, Secunderabad Railway Station, Bhubaneshwar, Nagpur, Bnaglore, Bhopal Junction, Gwalior, Chennai Central, Howrah Station, New Delhi Railway Station  etc., but no direct services to Indore, Ujjian, Coimbatore and Jaipur amongst other major cities.
