Ferries: Goa boasts many rivers and estuaries, and ferries will get you from one shore to the other. While the larger barges take cars to the other side, all of them take at least a two-wheeler, apart from locals, tourists, livestock and coconuts!

Trains: There are passenger trains aplenty passing through Goa. So if you need to get from North to South Goa in a hurry, check train timetables, buy a ticket and just hop on.
