get there and around
The Margao Railway station is Goa's biggest and most important[citation needed] as it is a railway junction positioned at the intersection of the Konkan Railway and the South Central Railway. All trains passing through Goa stop here, and it is the gateway to south Goa. Hence Margao is used more commonly as a transit stop rather than as a tourist destination, by many people who either head off down south to Palolem (38 km) or to Benaulim and Colva which are about six kilometers away.
The city hosts the test track for Skybus Metro,[5] an elevated rail system which is patented by the Konkan Railway Corporation.[6] The Skybus Metro project was later scrapped due to an accident which occurred during the test drive killing one engineer and a seriously injuring a crew of three.
