But the disadvantage is that they\u2019re slow, over-crowded, have no room for luggage and uncomfortable.&nbsp;Taxis, tuktuks, and rented cars are more comfortable, efficient and faster. The only drawback is the relative expense when compared to buses and trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mce-ga mce-family-open-sans\">Trains are cheap, fast, provide comfort if in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> class and show off scenic routes.
