Bangalore Airport Transfers

Daily, around 4 million people use the public transportation system in Bangalore or Bengaluru, travelling with the metro (Namma Metro) and buses. The metro system operates with two lines serving 41 stations (Green for heritage sights and Purple line for popular attractions). 

The most convenient and cheapest way to travel around Bangalore is by bus. Over 6000 buses on 2000 routes are handled by BMTC, running every 15 minutes from 6:00 until 22:00. Red buses operate within the city limits, and green buses connect the suburbs. Additionally, congestion and traffic jams are not avoidable, and delays are expected. Despite auto-rickshaws being the simplest transportation mode available throughout the city, they are not recommended for travellers.

Indian Railways manage the train system in Bangalore. Bangalore City Station and Yeshwantpur Junction are the main railway stations that serve the city, while the other smaller stations are Bangalore East, Bangalore Cantonment, Kengeri and Krishnarajapura. Travel time by train from Bangalore to Chennai is 5-6 hours, to Mumbai is 24 hours. The busiest train lines are from Bangalore to Mysore, Kodagu, Belur, Kabini and Coord.

A government and private bus companies provide services from Bangalore to Hyderabad, Goa, Mangalore, Tirupati, Mumbai, Madurai, Puttaparthi and many other cities. Intercity buses depart from KempeGowda Station (Majestic Bus Station). The bus stand for services within Bangalore is opposite the Majestic station. Most of the older buses display the destination in the local language, so you will need to get someone to advise you on which bus to board.

KempeGowda International Airport (BLA) formerly called Bangalore Airport is around 40 km away from the city centre. It was opened in 2008, and since then it handles flights to over 50 destinations around the world, operated by over 30 domestic and international airlines.

Shuttle BMTC bus is available from the airport to Bangalore and runs on multiple routes. They are also known as Vayu Vajra buses running on every 15 minutes from and to the airport. A cheaper alternative is the public bus KIAS-9 service terminating at Kempegowda bus station. The bus leaves every 30 minutes from a designated stop at the airport. However, during rush hour the bus is getting very crowded.

The taxi service provides more comfort and flexibility. City and radio taxis charge per kilometre, and a surcharge applies for travels during the night.
