This page maps the auto routes, the road-level half of the transport guide.
The map
- The fixed runs: the station-fort-Gadisar triangle, where the fare anchors apply.
- The negotiate zone: the Bada Bagh and Amar Sagar edges.
- The fort lanes are where walking wins, because autos cannot follow.
Reading the map as a pattern rather than a list of fares is what makes autos in Jaisalmer predictable. The fixed runs earn their name from repetition: station, fort and Gadisar sit on the triangle most drivers work all day, so those legs price tightest and move fastest. The edges, out toward Bada Bagh and Amar Sagar, leave the drivers’ natural circuit, which is exactly why they fall into the negotiation zone the reports describe, with the return-leg problem, whether the driver waits or finds a fare back, deciding the number more than distance does. The fare anchors give the baseline; the map gives the leverage.
