Besides Mandirtala and Nabanna Bus Terminus, Buses ply along Grand Trunk Road/Andul Road (part of State Highway 6), Foreshore Road, Jagat Banerjee Ghat Road, College Road/Botanical Garden Road, Kona Expressway and Netaji Subhash Road in Shibpur. The nearest railway station Shalimar is a terminus station for South Eastern Railway and also has a port near it. The Shalimar port is even older than the Kolkata port made by the colonial rulers. Shalimar port was in function during the Mughal Empire, which was connected to the rest of the country with Grand Trunk Road. One manufacturing unit of the second largest Paint Company, Berger Paints is situated here.
