Having spent some time in Faridabad, I have to tell you that it really does not have any tourist attractions of which I am aware. However, I wanted to raise the point here to see if anyone else has any thoughts on the subject, before I add that to the section.--Tomstoner 16:10, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
The literacy map is fascinating. However, it some of the colors are almost identical, making the map hard to interpret. Can this be addressed?--Tomstoner 16:12, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Just citing the recent edits being made to this page. I want to tell the people who make pathetic edits such as, Faridabad being a good place, people here being lovely, are nothing but stupid and utter nonsense. The people making such edits should realize that this page is meant for giving encyclopedia and important information about the city, not for advertising the place or trying to make the page better than those of other cities. I am myself a resident of Faridabad, and I hate seeing such stupid updates being made on this page, by stupid people. To know more about how to make/edit Misplaced Pages pages, refer to Five Pillars of Misplaced Pages. --Aru123 12:56, 19 October 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.214.253 (talk)
Connectivity to Surrounding Cities
A substantial population of Faridabad commutes to either Delhi, Gurgaon or NOIDA on a daily basis for work or higher education.
To Delhi
As far as public transport is concerned- there is a regular EMU (train) service, along with Public Bus service (DTC, Haryana Roadways) available for traveling from Faridabad to Delhi. Though there are plans to extend the Metro project from Delhi to NOIDA, none are in the picture for Faridabad till date.
There are private chartered buses connecting Faridabad to various points in Delhi. A cheap & popular mode of transport that is also used for travel along the NH-2 is the autorickshaw. They are quite old, noisy & very polluting. (Faridabad's air is very polluted and vehicular pollution contributes to a great extent)
There are two possible routes for traveling from Faridabad to New Delhi. One along the NH2, through the congested Badarpur Border. The other through the ridge road next to Surajkund (this route is not open for large commercial vehicles). The latter route is more suitable when traveling to South Delhi. In the recent years, some schools & a higher education institute has been opened on this road.
To Gurgaon
There are two routes from Faridabad to Gurgaon. One through Delhi (Mehrauli-Badarpur Road) and the other, which is a direct access road that passes through the Crusher zone and near the TERI institute. This road used to be very bad, full of pot holes etc, however it has been upgraded in the last year. It is still a hard route to travel due to overloaded dumper trucks and speeding vehicles. There have been many severe accidents recently.
To NOIDA
There is a public Bus Service available from Faridabad to NOIDA.
