By Air
Bangalore has its own airport with almost all
the major domestic airlines catering services to the city. The airport is
6 kms from city centre. Few selected international carriers also operate
their flights to the city.
By Rail
Bangalore has two railway stations, the
Banglore City and Banglore Cantt. The major trains from and to Banglore
terminate & start from the city station. Banglore is well connected to
all the major towns of India.
By Road
Being the capital city of Karnataka,
Bangalore has very good motorable roads to
various parts of the state. Some of the bus services are also serving the
adjoining states.
Local Transport
There are very few yellow-top taxis in the city, mostly around the
airport area, but tourist taxis are easily available from agencies, hotels
and taxi stands. Karnataka State Tourism
Development Corporation (KSTDC) maintains a fleet of cars for hire. A very
commonly used mode of transport is the metered auto-rickshaw. The city
also runs an efficient city-bus service, but the buses are usually crowded
and the bus staff is generally rash and ruthless.
