Tinsukia is one of the best-connected cities in eastern India, serving as a critical transport node.
* **Rail:** The city is served by two main railway stations: **New Tinsukia Junction** (a major regional hub connecting Assam to the rest of India via long-distance express trains) and **Tinsukia Junction** (older, handling mostly local and regional passenger traffic). * **Air:** The nearest airport is **Dibrugarh Airport (Mohanbari)**, located about 40 km away, offering daily domestic flights to Guwahati, Kolkata, and Delhi. * **Road:** National Highway 37 (NH-37) and NH-215 pass through or near the city, connecting it to lower Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. The Dhola-Sadiya Bridge (Bhupen Hazarika Setu), one of India's longest bridges, is easily accessible from Tinsukia. * **Local Transit:** Auto-rickshaws, e-rickshaws (tuk-tuks), and cycle rickshaws are the primary modes of point-to-point transit within the city. Shared "magic" (small vans) and local buses connect Tinsukia to nearby towns like Digboi, Makum, and Doomdooma.
