If you are low on budget and can take care of yourself and your belongings, then you should simply come out of the station though the gate on platform no. 1, (ignore the autorickshaw drivers). You have to move out of the main gate of the station where day to day community passenger autorickshaw’s would be lined up and they would offer you a ride to Bijlighar Crossing only for ₹10 and then cross the road and board another passenger autorickshaw bound to the west gate of Taj Mahal, this would further cost another ₹10
