== Moving around with-in Bangalore == | |||
=== From the airport(KIA) to Bangalore City === | |||
* '''Buses Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC)'''[27] operates buses from various points of the city every 15 min to the Bangalore International Airport (BLR). A total of 156 buses ply to and from the airport. 40 of these buses are air-conditioned Volvo buses, called Vayu Vajra. The cost for each trip in these buses ranges between Rs 50-250 depending on the distance. This is the cheapest and an extremely convenient way to get to the airport moreover, this service is available everyday, day and night. While taking this mode be aware that you will need some one to pick you up from the bus stop or you will need a auto rickshaw ride for the last mile. | |||
* '''Post-paid taxi''' KIA has selected Classic Cabs India(http://bangaloretaxis.com) to provide basic taxi services. The taxi operators will have basic A/C cars, all equipped with tracking devices to ensure safety and transparency. Both operators have professional call centres. Hence, guests traveling to the airport can call the cab call centres and a cab will pick them up and drop them at the airport. Meru Cabs have been reported to be highly un-reliable by users. They have been known to cancel the appointment at the last hour leaving the customer high and dry. The Meru Cab drivers do this if they find a better deal from a street pick up while they are on their way to an airport pick-up. For travelers arriving at the airport, there is a dedicated taxi holding area. The post paid taxi facility will be available on meter charges @ Rs 20/- per km (subject to Govt regulation). These are by far the best and most convenient mode of transport from the airport. It may cost you approximately Rs 600 to get to Bangalore's CBD. About Rs 700 to Koramangala. | |||
===Taxi Companies=== | |||
Tel: (Uber) - Download App and just use. [Internet required] | |||
Tel: (Ola) - +91 8033553355 | |||
Taxis are based right outside of the arrivals area. Official black and yellow Bangalore Airport taxi cabs should be used at all times. Reliable companies in operation here include include Ola Taxis and Uber Taxis. | |||
The airport taxi meters in Bangalore start at a basic fare, but additional charges are usually made for luggage, late-night driving and travel on public holidays in Bangalore, so it can prove useful to ask the taxi driver about these before leaving. Taxis will carry a maximum of four passengers. Mostly they prefer cash and provide bills. Credit cards may not work. Cab drivers can speak and understand basic English. | |||
It is recommended that you select a taxi that can be pre-paid for if possible. The cost of traveling from --- Airport to Community Space should be less than Rs.TBD INR (~$TBD). | |||
