Bangalore, sada službeno poznat kao Bengaluru (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು), glavni je grad Indijanac drzava Karnataka. Danas je to veliki kozmopolitski grad s velikim brojem radno sposobnog stanovništva. Bangalore je glavno središte indijske industrije informacijske tehnologije (IT), a u svijetu je poznato pod nazivom "Silicijska dolina Indije".
Shvati
Jednom nazvani "Vrtni grad Indije" i "Raj umirovljenika", ovi se epiteti ne primjenjuju na moderni Bangalore.
Povijest
Najraniji zapisi o mjestu nazvanom "Bengaluru" nalaze se u hramu iz devetog stoljeća na području koje je danas poznato kao "Stari Bangalore".
Legenda kaže da se, kada je feudalni gospodar Kempe Gowda nekoć lovio zečeve na tom području, pojavio zec i napao svog psa. To je ostavilo izvrstan dojam na Gowdu i on je tom mjestu dao ime gandu bhoomi (mjesto heroja). 1537., uz pomoć lokalnog kralja, sagradio je na tom mjestu tri okruga zaštićena zidom utvrdom.
Tijekom sljedeća tri stoljeća Bangalore je postojao vrlo puno u sjeni susjednog grada, Mysore, a kontrola nad gradom mnogo je puta promijenila vlasnika. Godina 1831. označila je veliku prekretnicu za grad. Tvrdeći da je kralj Krishna Raja Wodeyar III pogrešno upravljao, Britanci su preuzeli kontrolu nad kraljevstvom Mysore i, vjerojatno pod utjecajem blagotvorne klime grada, premjestili administrativni glavni grad u Bangalore. Postavljeni su novi telekomunikacijski sustavi, izgrađene željezničke veze, izgrađene fine državne zgrade i uspostavljeni poznati gradski parkovi i vrtovi. Nakon neovisnosti, Bangalore je zadržao svoj položaj glavnog grada države Karnataka i nastavlja rasti.
Dugi niz godina Bangalore su u Indiji smatrali najzelenijim, najliberalnijim i najnaprednijim gradom. Ti su atributi pokrenuli Bangalore na čelo indijskog procvata visokotehnološke industrije, a svrstava se u jedan od najrazvijenijih gradova u Indiji i među najbrže rastuća urbana područja na svijetu.
Popularni mit koji objašnjava zavičajno ime Bengaluru je da potječe iz Benda Kaalu Uru (Grad kuhanog graha). Priča govori da je ime gradu nadjenula kralj Vira Ballala kojoj je starica, iako izgubljena na tom području, ponudila kuhani grah.
Klima
Za razliku od glavnih indijskih metropola koje su ljeti izuzetno vruće, Bangalore tijekom cijele godine uživa relativno blagu klimu.
- Ljeto - veljača do svibanj (najviša temperatura je tijekom travnja i svibnja)
- Monsun - lipanj do listopada (najjače kiše obično su između lipnja i kolovoza)
- Zima - studeni do siječanj (s tim da je siječanj najhladniji mjesec)
Ljetne temperature mogu doseći 36 ° C (97 ° F), a ranojutarnje temperature zimi se kreću oko 12 ° C (54 ° F).
Međutim, Bangalore ima nepredvidljivo vrijeme, nimalo za razliku od nekih zapadnih gradova. Uobičajeno je imati topli sunčani dan praćen večernjim pljuskovima koji završavaju prohladnim noćima. Dakle, budite spremni za kišu veći dio godine (posebno od svibnja do studenog).
Razgovor
Budući da je glavni grad Karnataka, široko rasprostranjeni i službeni jezik u Bangaloreu je Kannada. Većina ljudi može govoriti i razumjeti engleski jezik Hindski. Ostali indijski jezici poput Malajalamski, Tamil, Teluški, bengalski i urdu govore odgovarajuće migrantske i manjinske zajednice. Kako je Bangalore komercijalno i kulturno središte, ima malo toga Konkani, Marathski i Tulu zvučnika.
Većina vozača auto-rikši, kondukteri u autobusima i prodavači mogu razgovarati na barem osnovnom engleskom jeziku. Neki od njih moći će razumjeti hindski, tamilski i telugu. Znakovi su obično napisani na kannadskom i engleskom jeziku. Međutim, osnovno znanje kanadskog jezika vrlo je korisno u interakciji s lokalnim stanovništvom.
Uđi
Avionom
- 1 Međunarodna zračna luka Kempegowda (BLR IATA) (U Devanahalliju, 40 km (25 milja) od središnje poslovne četvrti Bangalore (cesta Mahatma Gandhi ("MG")) i 30 km (19 milja) od gradske željezničke stanice Bengaluru.), ☏ 91 80 6678-2255, 91 80 6678-2251, besplatni: 1 800 425 4425, ✉[email protected]. Zračna luka povremeno podliježe operativnim ograničenjima zbog magle od 15. studenog do 15. veljače između 3:00 i 08:30 (IST). Zbog jutarnje magle mogu se ujutro pojaviti kašnjenja i preusmjeravanja leta. Zračna luka jedna je od najprometnijih i najmodernijih u Indiji. Zračna luka domaćin je 10 domaćih i 21 međunarodnom zračnom prijevozniku koji povezuju grad s 50-ak odredišta.
Zračna luka ima međunarodni i domaći terminal. Dijele istu zgradu, ali nalaze se na različitim stranama - domaća vrata su na zapadnoj, dok su veća međunarodna vrata na istoku. Postoje bankomati, mjenjačnice, dvije jedinice Dan kave u kafiću i drugi kafići, bescarinske trgovine, restorani i dnevni hoteli u zračnoj luci. Pri polasku iz zračne luke provjerite ograničenja vremena prijave prtljage i ponesite sa sobom u zračnu luku ispis ukrcajne propusnice. Za letove koji polaze u ranim jutarnjim satima (kao što je 03:00), možda ćete trebati prijaviti kovčeg koliko 2½ sata unaprijed.
zrakoplovne kompanije
Zračna luka služi kao čvorište za gotovo sve domaće zrakoplovne kompanije kao što su GoAir, Indigo, SpiceJet i Vistara.
Međunarodne zrakoplovne tvrtke uključuju Air India, Air France, AirAsia, Malaysian Airlines, Zračni Mauricijus, British Airways, Dragonair, Emirati, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, Scoot Tigerair, SriLankan Airlines, Qatar Airways i Thai Airways.
Zračna luka do središnje poslovne četvrti
- AutobusiBangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) upravlja autobusima s različitih gradskih točaka svakih 15 minuta do međunarodne zračne luke Kempegowda. Do i od zračne luke vozi 156 autobusa. Od toga je 40 klimatiziranih Volvo autobusa, nazvanih Vayu Vajra. Cijena svakog putovanja u tim autobusima kreće se između 50 and i 250 ₹, ovisno o udaljenosti. Ovo je najjeftiniji i izuzetno prikladan način dolaska do zračne luke. Štoviše, ova je usluga dostupna svakodnevno, danju i noću. Dok se vozite ovim načinom prijevoza, imajte na umu da ćete, kako biste stigli od autobusne stanice do vašeg konačnog odredišta, trebati provozati se auto rikšom ili od nekoga doći liftom.
- Taksiji
- Taksiji odobreni od zračne luke Za putnike koji dolaze u zračnu luku postoji namjenski prostor za zadržavanje taksija. Taksi na ovom području posjeda koristi brojila po stopi od 19,5 ₹ po kilometru. Također ćete morati platiti cestarinu od 120 JPY kada uđete na autocestu. Do središnje poslovne četvrti Bangalorea treba otprilike 600 ₹, a do 700 ₹ Koramangala. Ovim taksijem upravljaju bilo koji EasyCabs, Kabine Meru ili KSTDC. Međutim, čitatelji su izvijestili da je kabina Meru nepouzdana jer je poznato da su neki vozači taksija u posljednji trenutak otkazali rezervacije ako pronađu bolju ponudu od uličnog prevoza dok su na putu do aerodromskog prevoza. Putovanja do bilo kojeg mjesta u Bangaloreu ne bi trebala koštati više od 800-1000 ₹. Više informacija možete pronaći na mjesto aerodroma.
- Neslužbeni taksiji Voznju do grada Bangalore možda ćete moći pronaći po znatno povoljnijoj cijeni ako odaberete taksi koji aerodrom nije odobrio, ali samo ako ste spremni riskirati. Taksisti koji voze takve taksije pokušat će s vama pregovarati o znatno nižoj cijeni od one koju naplaćuju EasyCabs i Meru Cabs, ponekad čak 200-300 JPY za vožnju do središnje poslovne četvrti. Ovi se taksiji mogu naći neposredno iza terminalne plaze na natkrivenom šetalištu koje vodi do parkirališta. Jednom kad napustite prolaz, neki taksisti mogu postati prilično agresivni i pokušati uzeti vašu prtljagu bez vašeg dopuštenja. Najbolje što treba učiniti je pratiti i kontrolirati svoje stvari. Čak i najagresivniji taksist ili vozač ostavit će vas na miru ako budete čvrsto i jasno stavili do znanja da ne želite njegovu pomoć. Takve taksije trebali biste koristiti samo ako imate predodžbu o odgovarajućim taksi stopama i ako ste spremni vrlo cjenkati kako biste izbjegli prevaru. Preporučuje se da se prije ulaska u kabinu dogovorite oko cijene; po dolasku na odredište nije potreban savjet.
- Taksiji zasnovani na aplikacijama Taksi usluge temeljene na aplikacijama za pametne telefone djeluju u Bangaloreu, a mnoge pružaju usluge do zračne luke. Oni djeluju od prihvatnog mjesta malo dalje od zgrade terminala. Možete slijediti znakove za preuzimanje taksija na bazi aplikacija. Morat ćete preuzeti aplikaciju na pametni telefon i imati internetsku vezu da biste mogli koristiti ove usluge. Ako nemate indijsku SIM karticu ili jeftine podatke o roamingu, možda je bolje da koristite neku od ostalih taksi usluga, jer se zračna luka WiFi može preopteretiti u vršno vrijeme.
- Limuzine i samovozeći automobili Hertz i Akbar Travels pružaju unaprijed plaćene limuzine i najam automobila putem šaltera u zgradi aerodromskog terminala. Troškovi prelaze 1.200 JPY za putovanje u središnju poslovnu četvrt. Općenito postoji nekoliko asortimana samovozećih automobila: kompaktna (Suzuki Swift), srednja (Ford Fiesta), standardna (Toyota Corolla), višenamjenska vozila (Toyota Innova) i sportska terenska vozila (Ford Nastojati). Automobili se daju iznajmljivačima s punim spremnikom goriva i moraju se vratiti s punim spremnikom goriva. U ponudi su fleksibilni objekti za prijevoz i odlazak u gradu i na aerodromu. Iznajmljivači mogu podići automobile u zračnoj luci i odvesti ih bilo gdje u gradu ili u Chennai ili Hyderabad. Slično tome, automobile je moguće podići u bilo kojem od ovih gradova i odbaciti u zračnoj luci. Primjenjuju se uvjeti - na primjer, iznajmljivači moraju biti stariji od 21 godine i posjedovati vozačke dozvole važeće u Indiji. Možda će biti potrebno obaviti puno papira i, ovisno o tvrtki i vrsti automobila koji se iznajmljuje, može se zatražiti veliki polog. Molimo provjerite unaprijed prije izrade planova.
- Preuzimanje hotela Možete se dogovoriti s hotelom da vas vozač preuzme u zračnoj luci. Neki hoteli, posebno oni visokog ranga, pružaju ovu uslugu besplatno ako odsjedate kod njih, iako vam neki mogu naplatiti oko 2500 ₹ (daleko više od pukog taksija). Ovo je možda dobra opcija ako prvi put putujete u Bangalore. Vozač će čekati u dolaznom dijelu zračne luke s natpisom s vašim imenom.
- Helikopter Ako ste u žurbi i imate puno novca, usluge helikoptera nude Ptičica i Deccan zrakoplovstvo. Širom Bangalorea postoji osam helidroma. Vožnja od međunarodne zračne luke vraća vas za oko 5000 JPY.
Vlakom
- Vidi također Putovanje željeznicom u Indiji.
U Bangaloreu ima mnogo željezničkih stanica, od kojih svaka opslužuje određene vlakove:
- 1 Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru (Šifra IR stanice: SBC, prije poznata kao gradska stanica Bengaluru), Rd željezničke stanice, Kempegowda, Sevashrama (Nasuprot autobusne stanice Majestic, Metro zeleno / ljubičasta: Stanica Nadaprabhu Kempegowda: Majestic). Većina lokalnih i međugradskih vlakova stiže i polazi odavde. Platforme: # 1 do 7 povezuju se na Chennai (360 km (220 mi), 5-6h, ₹ 125-1.105) i Salem (preko Hosura), # 8 do 10 do Hublija preko Yeshwantpura, Tumkura, Birura, # 5 do 10 prema Mysore. Tamo također polaze vlakovi Hyderabad preko Guntakala.
- 2 Spoj Yeswantpur (Šifra IC stanice: YPR, također Yesvantpur Junction), NH-4 (cesta Tumkur) (Metro (zelena linija): postaja Yeswantpur, autobus BMTC koji opslužuje stanicu na staroj strani tržnice Yeshwantapur (bliže platformi 1) su 90E od Majestic-a, 91C i 52E od tržnice Krišna Rajendra poznata i kao Gradska tržnica, 94E od Shivajinagar-a, K1 od Bolnica St. Johns). Drugi glavni željeznički terminal u Bangaloreu. Odavde stiže i polazi nekoliko (uglavnom međugradskih) vlakova. Ovdje se zaustavljaju svi vlakovi prema Hubliju. Usluge: umirovljeničke sobe i spavaonice, salon AC VIP, osnovni štandovi i bankomat.
- 3 Istok Bengaluru (Šifra IR stanice: BNCE), Pottery Rd. (Otprilike 5 km (3,1 milje) sjeveroistočno od centra). Manja.
- 4 Kanton Bengaluru (Šifra IR stanice: BNC), Cantonment Railway Station Rd, Kaverappa Layout, Vasanth Nagar. Manja. Usluge: Rezervacijski centar za putnike, AC VIP salon, brojači upita, osnovni štandovi, placa s hranom, bankomat. PF-1A (slijepa strana platforme 1) koristi se za zaustavljanje vlakova poput 12509/10 dvotjednog Express Guwahati, 12503/04 Tjedni Express Agartala Humsafar, Tjedni Express 18635/36 Hatia, Putnički 56503/04 Vijayawada i 2 DMU usluge koji djeluju iz Kolara preko Bangarpeta. Glavne platforme zaustavljaju svi vlakovi koji prolaze ovom stanicom, osim 12007/08 Chennai Mysore shatabdi Express
- 5 Krishnarajapuram željeznička stanica (KJM), Vanjska kružna cesta, Jyothi Puram, Krishnarajapura (Svi autobusi između 303 i 320, osim 314 serije do / od Majestic / Shivajinagar / Market & Ulsoor). Važna stanica zbog blizine IT tvrtki i kružne ceste koja prolazi pored stanice i dobro je povezana autobusima s glavnim dijelovima. Također čini 1. stanicu za većinu vlakova koji napuštaju Yeshvantapur prema Jolarpettai.
- 6 Kengeri (KGI), Kengeri Satelitski grad, Kengeri (5 minuta hoda od Kengeri TTMC na ulici Mysore). Važna stanica zbog blizine stambenih područja u blizini. Glavna je stanica za sve vlakove koji dolaze s Mysorea. Autobuska stanica Kengeri na cesti Mysore udaljena je 5 minuta hoda od željezničke stanice, imajući pristup glavnim obilaznicama 401K (Yelahanka preko Vijayanagar), 401M (Yeshvantapur preko Ring Ring), 502F (Peenya), 375 (Banashankari preko Uttarahalli), 378 (Elektronički grad putem Uttarahallija) i 222A / 226N prema Majesticu i Tržnici. Global Tech Park udaljen je oko 3 km (1,9 milje), a B.G.S Global bolnica oko 5 km (3,1 milje).
Rezervacije se mogu izvršiti na željezničkim kolodvorima ili na šalterima za indijske željeznice u glavnim komercijalnim i stambenim područjima. Rezervacija se također može izvršiti na liniji. Ako rezervirate u Bengaluru City i putujete u Mysore, za putnike u Mysore postoji zaseban šalter. Ovo će zadovoljiti velik broj putnika između Bangalorea i Mysorea. Ako putujete u Mysore u nedjelju popodne, dođite ranije jer obično postoji dugačak red za kupnju karata.
Kao i kod svih indijskih željezničkih putovanja, imajte strpljenja za kašnjenja. Vlakovi obično dolaze na vrijeme (u roku od 20 minuta od predviđenog vremena), ali ponekad mogu kasniti. Digitalna ploča za polazak na kolodvoru reći će vam na kojoj se platformi nalazi vaš vlak i u koliko sati kreće.
Za upite o dolasku / odlasku vlaka i PNR statusu na različitim željezničkim postajama u Bengaluru nazovite 139.
Putujući iz Mumbaiju do Bangalorea vlakom treba dugo vremena (oko 24 sata). Autobusi su relativno brži i uzimaju 18-20 sati, pod uvjetom da u Mumbaiju i Puni nema zastoja na putu. Učinkovito vrijeme putovanja vlakom ili autobusom je dugo. Putovanje zrakoplovom preporučuje se za putovanja između Mumbaija i Bangalorea, čija dužina traje oko 90 min. Niskotarifne zrakoplovne tvrtke naplaćuju istu cijenu kao i klimatizirani vlak ili Volvo autobus. Međutim, putovanje vlakom klase spavača (bez zračnog prijevoza) od Mumbaija do Bangalorea ekonomično je i možete imati pogled na neke bujne zimzelene šume i riječne doline diljem zapadne Indije. Putovanje do Delhija može potrajati 39 sati (ili više), a let karta samo duplo veća od iznosa sporog vlaka.
Za Kvota stranih turista, idite do velike zgrade s lijeve strane, prije nego što uđete na željezničku stanicu glavnim pristupom. Ovo je zgrada "Rezervirane ulaznice" (čak i ako na bočnim vratima stoji "Rezervacijski centar"). Na prvom katu nalazi se glavni nadzornik rezervacije. Službenik će rezervirati kartu za vas (nakon pokazivanja putovnice za strance). Možda će vas uputiti na prvi šalter u glavnoj zgradi. Ali tamo morate stajati u redu, dok ovdje možete sjediti u uredu i čekati da vam rezerviraju kartu.
Autobusom
Ako imate poteškoća s organiziranjem avionske ili željezničke karte do / od vašeg sljedećeg odredišta ili želite malo više avanture, možete ići autobusom. Državni i privatni autobusi voze usluge do / iz većih gradova poput Mumbaiju, Goa, Chennai, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tirupati, Hyderabaditd. Autobusi mogu biti redovni servis sa samo sjedalima i bez klima uređaja, uobičajeni luksuzni autobus, Volvo klima uređaj ili autobus za spavanje za noćna putovanja. Autobusi su također dobri za dolazak iz mnogih gradova u Karnataka bez velikog broja vlakova zbog povećane usluge - većina gradova u Karnataki u biti ima zajamčenu uslugu do glavnog grada države.
- 7 Autobusni kolodvor Kempegowda (Autobusni kolodvor Majestic, Kannada: ಕೆಂಪೇಗೌಡ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ), Gandhi Nagar, gradski autobus Rd (Glavni autobusni stajalište nalazi se pored autobusne stanice Kempegowda i metroa Green / Purple Kempegowda / Majestic). Jedan od najvećih autobusnih stajališta u gradu, ovaj autobusni štand opslužuje glavne autobuse na Karnataka (osim bočnih autobusa Mysore Road), Andhra Pradeshu, Telangani, Maharashtri i Goi. ujedno je i najveća presječna točka za Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), koji održava autobusne linije unutar Bangalorea. Autobuska stanica nalazi se nasuprot gradske željezničke stanice.
- 8 MCTC (Stajalište satelitskog autobusa Mysore Road), Bapuji Nagar, cesta Mysore (Veličanstven: KSRTC shuttle, BMTC 220 do 235; Tržište: 220 do 235 serija; Šivajinagar: 222E, 226N, 121B; Jayanagar: 60A do L; Ješvantapur: K-2; Jalahalli križ: 248). Jedan od važnih autobusnih stajališta u Bangaloreu, čiji je cilj uklanjanje kongestija autobusnog stajališta Majestic, ovaj autobusni štand pruža usluge svim uobičajenim i luksuznim uslugama prema Mysoreu, kao i međudržavnim običnim i luksuznim uslugama do Kerale, preko Mysorea, koje upravljaju države Karnataka i države Kerala. . Obične i luksuzne namjene vezane za Ooty, Coimbatore preko Mysorea / Kollegala također počinju s ovog mjesta. Sve uobičajene usluge koje obavlja Tamil Nadu State Road Transport Corporation do Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Salem, Vriddachalam, Kanchipuram, Coimbatore i Trichy koriste ovaj autobusni stalak za ukidanje svojih autobusnih usluga
- 9 Šantinagar (Dvostruki autobusni stalak), K.H. Cesta (Od Majestic: 171, svi autobusi od 340 do 372; Iz Shivajinagara: 13, 13A do 13K, 27,27E, 29,210F, G, GA, Q, K6). Jedan od važnih autobusnih stajališta Bangalorea, čiji je cilj uklanjanje kongestija autobusnog stajališta Majestic, ovaj autobusni štand opskrbljuje sve luksuzne usluge prema Tamilnaduu kojima upravlja KSRTC, kao i SETC države Tamilnadu. Neki autobusi Kerale State Transport Corporation, koji prometuju preko Salema do Kerale, prolaze kroz ovaj terminal.
Postoje i mnoga neslužbena stajališta do kojih će autobusi ići na zahtjev (čak i kod luksuznih autobusa sa rezerviranim sjedalima, možete zatražiti od konduktera da se zaustavi na takvom stajalištu sve dok je u Bangaloreu / istom gradu kao i stajalište na vašoj karti ) ili čak dopustite putnicima da rezerviraju karte od. Ta mjesta nemaju kolodvorsku infrastrukturu, ali se obično nalaze u blizini znamenitosti, na glavnim ulicama / krugovima / trgovima, i naravno mogu ih uočiti brojni autobusi koji su pretrpani uokolo. Jedno posebno korisno stajalište je Jeswanthpur Junction, koji se nalazi pored istoimene željezničke stanice kao i metro stanice Yeswanthpur.
Izložbene table autobusa za velike udaljenost pokazuju odredište na lokalnom jeziku Kannada. Ako ne govorite kannadski, vjerojatno ćete trebati pomoć da biste ušli u pravi autobus. Međutim, noviji Volvo autobusi opremljeni su elektroničkim zaslonima koji jedan za drugim pokazuju odredište na kannadskom i engleskom jeziku. Autobusi koji nisu tvrtke Volvo postupno se nadograđuju ovim elektroničkim zaslonima; ovo bi putovanje autobusom moglo učiniti mnogo jednostavnijim ako niste upoznati s lokalnim jezikom. Međutim, još uvijek postoje mnogi stariji autobusi Ashok Leyland, pa čak i neki vrlo stari Tata autobusi koji prometuju cestama, pa je najbolje ići prema vremenu ili pitati konduktera kuda autobus vozi (obično postavljanjem naziva odredišta poput pitanja , kao što je "Mysore?", i slušanje ako dirigent odgovori istim ili drugim imenom).

Automobilom
Vožnja u Indiji može biti vrlo stresna. Disciplina traka praktički ne postoji, prekomjerno trubljenje, velika gustoća vozila, nepoštivanje zakona o prometu, u kombinaciji s prolaznim granicama s brijačem. Jedna vožnja taksijem najvjerojatnije će vas uvjeriti da se sama ne isplati riskirati, pa ako želite stići automobilom, vjerojatno ćete htjeti unajmiti automobil i vozača. Cijena varira, ali većina kombinacija automobila i vozača košta 1.400-1.700 JPY dnevno. Cijene iznajmljenih privatnih taksija obično su višestruke od 4 sata / 40 km (25 milja), a cijene za ne-klimatizirani mali automobil kreću se oko 450 JPY. Ovisno o tome odakle dolazite, možda ćete moći pregovarati o nižoj cijeni putovanja ako putovanje nije daleko, a može biti i višoj cijeni ako putujete daleko, a vaš vozač mora putovati natrag u svoje vrijeme. Imati unaprijed približnu ideju o cijeni karte ili udaljenosti i ustrajne vještine pregovaranja mogu dovesti do značajnih ušteda. Iako košta više, razmislite o zahtjevu za klimatiziranim automobilom ako niste navikli na vrućinu, posebno ljeti. Klimatizirani automobil također će pomoći filtrirati onečišćenje zraka, koje je znatno, posebno na zakrčenim prometnicama. Ako želite nešto još posebnije, poput otmjenog automobila ili SUV-a, budite spremni platiti dodatno.

Podzemnom željeznicom
The Metro Bangalore (Namma metro) je učinkovita međugradska željeznička usluga. Od ožujka 2020. postoje dvije crte koje se sijeku na autobusnom kolodvoru Kempegowda Majestic Terminal (nazvan Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station Majestic), s ukupno 41 stajalište. Ulaznice se mogu kupiti na bilo kojoj stanici. Cijena karte ovisi o broju stanica do kojih se putuje. Minimalna cijena vožnje je 10, a maksimalna 60 eura. Kartica koja košta 50 JPY spasit će vas redova i može se napuniti putem interneta (preporučuje se za punjenje na šalterima). Kartice nude popust od 5% na uobičajenu kartu. Ne postoji druga koncesija za starije osobe, žene itd. Ulaznice se kupuju za djecu veću od 3 metra.
Ako dobijete pametni žeton (jednosmjerna karta), imajte na umu da ga morate vratiti na stanici na kojoj silazite, pa ga fotografirajte prije odlaska ako želite. Svi vlakovi su vlakovi sa 6 vagona. To smanjuje žurbu u vlakovima.
Postojeće rute su:

Autobusi su jeftini i obično su česti (iako skupi u usporedbi s drugim državama). Ali putovanje na njima može biti vrlo teško ako ne poznajete dobro sustav. Sada većina autobusa ima digitalne natpise koji se izmjenjuju na lokalnom jeziku kanadskog i engleskog, ali neki autobusi i dalje prikazuju stare ispisane znakove samo s brojem rute na engleskom jeziku, a podaci o odredištu i ruti napisani su na kannadskom. Naravno, čak i s digitalnim natpisima autobusima može trebati puno vremena da promijene jezik koji se prikazuje, što znači da može biti lako propustiti svoj autobus. To znači da ćete morati znati koji vam je broj rute potreban prije nego što krenete, što možete pronaći na Web stranica BMTC-a, BMTCRoutes.in web mjestu, Desiroutes, unošenjem početne i krajnje točke na Google karte ili pitajući lokalno stanovništvo.
Nisu sva autobusna stajališta jasno označena, pa može biti malo nezgodno na vašem prvom putovanju. Skupine ljudi koji stoje okolo mogu biti dobar pokazatelj da će se autobus tu zaustaviti. Također je dobro pitati vozača ili konduktera zaustave li se na stajalištu do kojeg želite ići (a 500 i 500Q neće ići na ista stajališta). Samo pitajte ime tonom pitanja i dobit ćete odgovor. Kondukteri (u svakom autobusu postoji jedan, koji naplaćuju karte i izdaju karte - uvijek su u uniformi) također su korisni kada vam kažu gdje i kada je vaše stajalište, ako to tražite, kao i suputnici ako često putuju. Objavljene mape ruta autobusnog sustava rijetke su, iako se karte prodaju na glavnim autobusnim kolodvorima (autobusni stajalište Kempegowda i Shivajinagar). BMTC (besplatni) ☏ 1-800-425-1663.
Pazite: neki vozači autobusa stavljaju znak rute na donju desnu stranu vjetrobrana umjesto na njegovo mjesto na nosaču znaka na vrhu vjetrobranskog stakla.
Autobusi s crnim izložbenim pločama voze se unutar grada. Autobusi s crvenim pločama prelaze velike udaljenosti i idu do susjednih predgrađa. Obični gradski autobusi su bijelo-plave ili zelene boje. Noviji gradski autobusi obično su plave boje i imaju LED zaslone. Postoje plavi autobusi Volvo, tzv Vajra, koji djeluju uglavnom na rutama IT sektora poput Elektronički grad , ITPL i vanjske kružne ceste, te do turističkih mjesta poput Nacionalni park Bannerghatta i vikend usluge za Wonderla. Oni nude ugodnu klimatiziranu vožnju po višim cijenama (1 1/2 do 2 puta više od redovne autobusne karte) od uobičajenih autobusa (koji nisu klimatizirani). Za razliku od većine ostalih autobusa, Vajras ima osvijetljene LED ploče s prednje i bočne strane koje prikazuju informacije o odredištu i ruti na engleskom jeziku, kao i na kannadskom.
BMTC također posluje Vayu Vajra usluge do međunarodne zračne luke Bangalore s različitih odredišta širom grada. KIAS-9 je najčešća ruta koja povezuje zračnu luku s autobusnom stanicom Majestic.
U gradskim autobusima gužva je u doba špice, koja je najmanje 7-10 sati ujutro i 17:00 (M-Sa), ali danju se može putovati s malo poteškoća. Autobusne usluge obično počinju u 5 ili 6 sati ujutro i rjeđe su od 9:30 do 22:00, a rijetke nakon 22:30. Također imajte na umu da je promet u Bangaloreu zloglasan. Putovanje gradom može potrajati i do 4 sata, posebno u vrijeme špice. Ne postoje autobusne trake, pa se autobusi, kabine i automobili suočavaju s istim gužvama!
Glavni autobusi u gradu imaju mjesta rezervirana za dame sprijeda, između prednjih i srednjih vrata. Prvo mjesto kraj ulaznih vrata rezervirano je za žene starije dobi, dok je prvo mjesto iza srednjih vrata za osobe s tjelesnim poteškoćama, a sjedalo okrenuto vratima za starije osobe. Općenito se na autobus možete ukrcati i izaći s bilo kojeg vrata.
Uvijek je bolje kupiti dnevnu kartu ako planirate putovati cijeli dan u autobusu. Dnevna karta košta 70 ₹ od siječnja 2018. i dobro dođe ako trebate putovati s nekoliko autobusa u jednom danu. Dnevne propusnice izdaje dežurni kondukter autobusa ili na autobusnom postolju. Koristeći ovu kartu možete putovati bilo kojim autobusom (osim Vajre) tijekom cijelog dana, bilo koji broj puta. Stariji građani daju koncesiju od 25% u svim autobusima uz predočenje važeće osobne iskaznice (npr. Putovnice). Djeca u dobi od 4 do 12 godina dobivaju koncesiju od 50%. Za djecu do 4 godine starosti ne naplaćuje se.
Postoje tri glavne autobusne stanice:
- 10 Kempegowda autobusna stanica (Majestic Bus Stand) (U blizini Gandhi Nagar, točno nasuprot željezničke stanice Bengaluru City). Prilično uredno i lako je ploviti. U blizini perona broj 1 na ‘Majesticu’ nalazi se služba za upit u kojoj možete zatražiti broj autobusa i peron za svoje željeno odredište. Na zaslonu možete pronaći veliku kartu kojom možete pronaći broj autobusa kojim trebate ići ako znate područje u koje idete. Naravno, uvijek možete pitati konduktera ili druge putnike. Karte ruta također se prodaju na platformama. Ima stanice za obje linije metroa.
- 11 Gradska tržnica. Otprilike 2,5 km (1,6 milje) od Majestica. Mogao bi zastrašiti pridošlice jer je vrlo neorganizirano. To je veliko nečisto parkiralište ispod nadzemne autoceste i nema previše reda za parkiranje autobusa.
- 12 Šivajinagar. Na sjeveru. Uredno je organiziran, a postoji prozor za informacije o autobusima. Ako mijenjate autobus, možda ćete morati sići na ulicu i ući u autobusnu stanicu kako biste uhvatili sljedeći autobus. I ovdje možete pronaći izloženu veliku kartu kojom možete pronaći broj autobusa kojim trebate ići ako znate područje u koje idete. Karte ruta također se prodaju na platformama.
Autobusi su dostupni za sva glavna mjesta u gradu s ove tri autobusne stanice. Došlo je do puno događaja zbog tekućeg projekta metroa, kao i napora da se dekongestrira grad. BMTC cijelo vrijeme dodaje nove autobusne stanice. Bolje provjeriti na njihovoj web stranici najnovije stanje.
Auto-rikšom
 | Bilješka: Autorickshaws i taksiji u Bangaloreu imaju mjereni sustav karata. Davanje napojnica nije niti očekivano niti potrebno kada se netko koristi autokrišom ili taksi službom. |
Auto-rikše (koje se nazivaju i "auto") su svugdje u bilo koje doba dana. Oni su zeleno-žuti ili crno-žuti dijelovi s tri kotača. Brz su (ali nesiguran) način za kretanje gradom - u gustom prometu brži su od taksija ili autobusa.
Auto-rikše trebaju naplaćivati cijene prema očitanju brojila, što iznosi 13 JPY po kilometru udaljenosti, minimalna naknada od 25 JPY za prvih 1,8 km (1,1 milja) ili manje, te 50% nadoplate nakon 22:00 (tzv. "Jedan i pol"). Teška prtljaga košta dodatnu naknadu od oko 10-20 ₹. Oni obično naplaćuju ad hoc, ovisno o udaljenosti odredišta, šansi da dođu do drugog kupca sa spomenutog mjesta i njihovom raspoloženju. Jednostavno biste trebali odbiti ulazak u auto ako je brojilo neispravno ili ga vozač odbija koristiti. Izgovaranje "metar molim" obično će učiniti trik.
Turisti bi trebali biti oprezni pri približavanju auto-rikšama noću ili za vrijeme jakih kiša. Velika je vjerojatnost da će naplatiti pretjerane cijene (neki vozači mogu zahtijevati 100% dodatka nakon 22:00 ili 23:00), ali u tom slučaju morate odbiti ukrcaj. U takvim okolnostima lokalna prometna policija mogla bi se poslužiti autorikšama. Ako ste posjetitelj i ne znate rutu do odredišta, dobra je ideja da se prije ukrcaja dogovorite i popravite cijenu kako biste izbjegli duge, zamršene rute koje vozač koristi - ili provjerite rutu snimanjem GPS traga na svoj mobitel.
Automatski vozači obično naplaćuju 1,5 stope za vrijeme od 21:00 do 06:00. Na primjer, ako brojilo očita 100 ₹, morate platiti 150 ₹. Uhvatiti automobile po uobičajenoj cijeni u ovo je vrijeme teško.
Još jedna stvar koju morate imati na umu je biti čvrst, ali ne i glasan u svađi dok putujete automobilom. Neki od manje uglednih vozača mogu se na pola puta udružiti sa svojim prijateljima kako bi stvorili probleme. Imajte na umu da su, iako su Bangalorejci poznati po svom uljudnom i blagom ponašanju, vozači automobila obično izuzetak. Neki neće pomisliti da vas pokušaju otrgnuti. Ako sumnjate, obratite se lokalnom ili hotelskom putničkom pultu.
Ako se vozač rikše ponudi pokazati / odvesti do nekih izvrsnih mjesta za kupnju, odlučno odbijte. Uobičajena je taktika vožnja do lokalnih trgovina u kojima će se vršiti pritisak da kupujete indijske zanate koje vjerojatno ne želite. Znajte svoje odredište i inzistirajte na njemu.
Rickshaw drivers are required by law to display their identification on the dashboard or the back of their seats. Refuse to get into a rickshaw that does not display one.
If an auto driver is problematic, their identification number and report to the BBMP Control room which is empowered to withdraw their auto license. This is a very effective technique to deal with them. The BBMP control room number as of December 2009 is ☏ 91 80 22975803.
If you arrive in Bangalore via train, at the main train station there is an office near the taxis/auto-rickshaws which will print-out a pre-paid receipt for your ride. The service costs ₹1, but will save you a potentially large amount of money by giving you an accurate value for your ride. This also allows you to avoid haggling with the driver, and acts as an official price agreement in the event that the driver wants to dispute the price of the ride.
Taksijem
Taxis are very convenient and comfortable. Most of the vehicles are Toyota Etios, Tata Indica cars or Mahindra Logan cars, which are much safer than auto-rickshaws, and the drivers are polite. If you are alone or going to an unknown destination, you are strongly advised to choose this option, even though the rates will be double that of an auto-rickshaw. Most taxi companies will charge a flat rate of ₹150 from anywhere to anywhere within city limits. Waiting or return trips will be charged extra, as will a lot of heavy luggage.
Unlike many other countries, taxis are ne marked with 'TAXI' signs on the top. Instead, the cars are marked with the logo of the fleet operator or taxi company on the sides of the car. Only some companies like "Meru Taxi" are marked with the sign 'Taxi' on them. Some companies have a yellow sign with an identification number (usually a letter followed by two digits) on the top. Keep in mind that these taxis cannot be hailed from the street, but have to be called by telephone. When you call, you must give the operator your location, destination, and phone number. The operator will in turn tell you the charge (or will inform you that you must go by the meter) as well as the taxi number. The taxi will come pick you up, and call you when they are close. When you go out on the street, look at the license plate for the number they gave you—it will be the last four digits of the license plate. Alternatively, look for the yellow board atop the car with the taxi's identification number.
The license plate number is usually in the format "KA" followed by 01 to 05, followed by two letters, followed by a four digit number. Taxis generally have yellow license plates with black letters.
On weekdays, especially during rush hours, be prepared to book a taxi a couple of hours in advance. Otherwise, the rush-hour traffic jams and high demand for taxis will make it difficult for a taxi to reach you in time. Private taxis are generally more reliable during this time – in many cases, radio cabs will be overbooked, and you might be unfortunate be informed that your booking has been cancelled.
Although it can be hard for non-Indians to grasp at first, the system is actually very effective. If in doubt, ask a member of your hotel staff to help you, and when your taxi comes be sure to tip them ₹35–40 for the assistance.
Some radio taxi services are:Map Cabs (☏ 91 8880 510 520), GetMeCab (☏ 91 92666 01520, hours=8AM–9PM), Cabbazar (☏ 91 77778-80880), Ola Cabs (☏ 91 80 3355 3355), SPOT City Taxi (☏ 91 80 2551 0000), 7mcar (☏ 91 80 87138713), BSR Travels (☏ 91 85508-55111), Bestway Cabs (☏ 91 98150-46464).
Travel agents and hotels can arrange private chauffeur driven cars, and you may also hire cars to drive yourself. While expensive compared to taxis, these are the most trusted, secure, and comfortable ways to travel around the city. Driving in Bangalore can be difficult, because of poor driver discipline, but chauffeur driven services are very reasonable. These can be arranged by travel companies or online from the countries of origin.
By private car
Most taxi and auto-rickshaw drivers will be more than happy to offer you either a daily rate or an hourly rate, and take you around wherever you need to go. Alternately, your hotel or a travel company can arrange a private car.
If you find a good taxi or auto driver, this can be a great way to go for a foreigner. You'll certainly pay a lot more than if you bought individual rides, but you'll always have a driver waiting for you, and he can help with recommending local tourist sites, finding a good restaurant to eat at, and otherwise coping with day-to-day life. This can take a lot of the stress out of traveling.
Rates are generally something like ₹50–100 per hour for an auto-rickshaw, and ₹150–250 per hour for a taxi. Rates for a private car booked via the hotel will probably be more. Like everything else in India, rates are very fluid.
Biciklom
The weather in Bangalore is extremely pleasant, but the traffic is equally hectic. So if your plan is not to go towards crowded city, you can go around vožnja biciklom.
Most of the sightseeing locations are within a range of 15 km (9.3 mi), so you can consider covering them on bicycle. Bicycle dealers charge ₹100-300 for entire day and you have to submit identity proof to hire bicycle.
By rental scooter
Travelling by rental scooter is increasingly common. Companies like Odskakivati, VOGO i YULU offer rental scooters and electric cycles (solar powered models are available), to be unlocked using an app on your smartphone. VOGO and YULU have certain hubs where the vehicle has to be parked, whereas Bounce scooters can be parked anywhere. The rates charged are comparable with those of auto rickshaws, or may be slightly higher at times. You should carry your own helmet since most of these vehicles don't come equipped. The flip side to these services is that the price charged in the end is final and cannot be bargained and sometimes these apps have poor customer services.
By commuter rail
There are MEMU trains connecting the city centre to various suburbs, especially those with a high concentration of tech companies such as Whitefield. However, speeds are low and station infrastructure can be poor.
Vidjeti
There are city tours that can show you the city efficiently if you are short on time. Typically, tours do ne include entry fees into the attractions. Bangalore, like the rest of India, has a habit of charging foreigners a lot more than locals for attractions. For example, Tipu Sultan's Palace, which is on the half-day tour, charges ₹15 for Indians/Saarc and ₹200 for non-Indians.

Shopping districts
Bangalore provides a wide range of options for shoppers. One can buy many things ranging from clothing to electronic goods and vehicles. Being an IT city, Bangalore provides all kind of services but one might find things to be costlier.
Many visitors come to Bangalore searching only for sandalwood carvings and silk saris and so miss out on the true Bangalore shopping experience. Here is a low down on shopping - Bangalore style:
- The UB City i Vittal Mallya Road are Page-3 shopping areas. You'll find brands like Versace, Louis Vuitton, Kimaya in the UB City. Vittal Mallya Road has stores like Kolektiv which is a shop only for men. Armani, Versace, Boss, you name it they have it. There's even Canary Blue and Esprit on the same road.
- 1 Bannerghatta Road. Grasshopper is a space that exhibits clothing designs from the most experimental designers in India and also showcases other ideas - lighting design, products, theatre, music - an open space for expression! If that's too boring, you can keep driving and you have a thousand ways that you can take to enjoy the wildlife and the myriad reservoirs strewn across the area - you can still find your very own private haven.
- 2 Brigade Road/M.G. Cesta (M.G. Road station (Metro east-west line) is right next to the intersection of M.G. and Brigade Roads.). The most popular place for tourists. These two roads are filled with shops of every kind, whether it be traditional handicrafts or the latest western wear (this is especially true for Brigade Road). Brigade Road, where British soldiers used to buy their necessities, is now the centre of yuppie Bangalore; you'll see hordes of college students on the road any time of day or night. Stores on Brigade Road include: Planet M (a huge music store with everything), Tommy Hilfiger, Louis Phillipe, Pepe Jeans, Levis, Lee, SanFrisco Jeans, Nike, and Titan (great Indian made watches). There are also many eateries on Brigade road and on the side roads that lead off it. Fast food outlets include KFC (right at the entrance), Pizza Hut (at the other end of the road), and many cafes including the Indian coffee chain Cafe Coffee Day. Also includes a tattoo studio. M.G. Road is short for Mahatma Gandhi road.
- 3 Commercial Street. A legacy of the British is another shopping mecca that sells international brands (similar to Brigade road) alongside locally produced items. Commercial Street has more of a bazaar feel than Brigade Road. In addition, it is famous for its body piercing centers. The price of goods here is very competitive and it is a great place to pick a bargain.
- Sampige Road. The heart of Malleswaram district, connecting Sheshadripuram to IISc. Sampige Road is around 2 km (1.2 mi) long, has a wide range of shops that sells books, electronic items, silk sarees, handicrafts, cloth materials, Hindu pooja materials, sweets and all the trivial things you can buy on earth. Also try Malleswaram 8th cross on Sampige road (aptly named Brigade Road of Malleswram) for a vibrant shopping experience. Sampige Road is also home to best flower market and fruits market in Bangalore. If you are tired of going to individual shops you can go to department stores such as Fabmall, Foodworld and Nilgiris.
Trgovački centri
Malls typically have higher-end stores retailing apparel, footwear, and consumer electronics. Many malls also have food courts (with international cuisine) and movie theatres. Finding a parking spot for your car may not be easy though, especially on weekends.
The heart of the new mall shopping district is on Victoria Road, with malls like Garuda Mall, Bengaluru Central and Globus, all within easy walking distance.
Some of the more popular malls in Bangalore are:
- 4 Bengaluru Central (Bangalore Central), Residency Road. Bengaluru Central is more of a large department store than a mall with separate retailers.
- 5 Forum Mall (on Hosur road, Koramangala suburb). One of the well-known malls in Bangalore in an upscale suburb. Stores range from high international brands to traditional Indian Khadi clothing at the Khadder. The top floor of the mall contains an 11-screen cinema. For eating there is fast food and world cuisines including: Chinese, Vietnamese, Mexican and Italian and Indian. The PVR Cinema hall is here too.
- 6 Garuda Mall. On the corner of McGrath and Commissariat Roads.
- 7 Gandhi Bazaar (in the heart of Basavangudi). One of the oldest shopping areas in Bangalore, Gandhi Bazaar stretches for a short kilometer or so, bordered on both sides by shops selling everything from saris and clothes to plastics and kitchen utensils, fronted by vegetable and fruit stalls.
- 8 Jayanagar Shopping Complex. From antique jewelry stores, the authentic gold jewelry stores, saree stores, sweet meat stores, classic Iyengar bakeries, dress stores, and food stores that sell fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, and butter. Most of the products are comparatively cheap and are often value for money.
- 9 Životni stil (Sony World Junction, Koramangala). A two-story store on Victoria Road in the heart of the new mall shopping district. This was one of the most coveted stores until the malls came along. It's an easy place to go shopping when you don't want too many options to confuse you or when you're tired and don't want to visit too many shops - you can get everything under one roof here. Good for clothes, cosmetics, watches, jewelry, shoes etc. You also get stylish furniture and other home and living items for a decent price.
- 10 Mantri Square (Metro Green: Sampige Rd). In Malleswaram
- Marathahalli Main Road and Factory Outlets. Some distance from central Bangalore (although not difficult to reach) is Marathahalli (a village in a previous life). The main road of this suburb is now a haven for factory outlets for all major brands. You can expect prices here to be cheaper than in the malls, at least 20-30% price difference but can be up to 50% cheaper when it comes to some of the major denim brands. As if India wasn't cheap enough. Although this is the best place to go to for factory outlet shopping, there are smaller factory outlets scattered across the city. Also look out for sales held by the major brands to get rid of end of season stock (again end of summer or end of monsoon), these are usually advertised in newspapers or look for signs posted on major roads.
- Metro shopping mall (near Yeshwanthpur railway station and ISKCON temple).
- 11 Safina Plaza. The sale capital of Bangalore, on Infantry Road. Every week there is sale going on of any type. One week it might be home furnishings and the next men's wear. Good place to find some bargains. Many exhibitions are also held here, although there are retailers here too. So for quiet shopping come here (much less crowded than the other malls). Its best to visit during end of season sales (summer, monsoon) or during festivals (New Year, Christmas, Ganesh Chaturthi).
- 12 Phoenix Marketcity. It is the largest mall in Bangalore by area. There is something for everyone in this mall. This mall has many upscale restaurants, electronic shops, bookstores, toy stores and a large selection of clothes, cosmetics, shoes, etc.

The traditional markets have mom-and-pop stores that sell everything from fruits, vegetables, groceries to electronics, music, and mobile phones.

Raditi
Indijanci
Najbolji način za pronalaženje posla u Bangaloreu su sajmovi poslova, portali za posao, izravna prijava tvrtkama od interesa i putem lovaca na ljude.
Uredba o zapošljavanju neindijskih građana Indijski propisi mogu zahtijevati da bilo koji strani državljanin koji je zaposlen u Indiji zarađuje najmanje 25 000 američkih dolara godišnje. Ovo je izuzeto za (a) etničke kuhare, (b) nastavnike jezika (osim nastavnika engleskog jezika) / prevoditelje i (c) osoblje koje radi za veleposlanstvo / visoke komisije. Provjerite svoju kompenzacijsku ponudu kako biste ispunili ovaj uvjet i stekli pravo na vizu za zapošljavanje. Neki strani državljani zaposleni su s plaćama nižim od ove, međutim, obično u nevladinom sektoru. |
Nazvan Silicijskom dolinom u Indiji, grad pruža mnoštvo mogućnosti zapošljavanja mladima iz različitih dijelova Indije.
Neindijanci
Uz malo truda i ustrajnosti pronalazak posla u Bangaloreu sasvim je moguće. Većina dostupnih pozicija nalazi se u IT području, ali ne nužno i na IT mjestu. Nekoliko iseljenika bavi se marketingom, osiguravanjem kvalitete, obukom za naglaske i prevođenjem. Za sve poslove u Indiji potrebna je viza za zapošljavanje koju mora dobiti inozemstvo, a sponzorirati je tvrtka za unajmljivanje u Indiji. Općenito, plaća za emigrante vrlo je visoka u usporedbi s lokalnom indijskom plaćom. Najbolji resurs za posao je putem zajednice iseljenika. Raspitajte se, ali dobro mjesto za susret s emigrantima su nedjeljne marende u hotelima s 5 zvjezdica ili u brojnim kafićima u okolici MG Road.
Jesti
Bangalore nudi širok izbor prehrambenih mogućnosti. Stranci će htjeti tražiti čistoću prilikom odabira mjesta za jelo. Također nemojte očekivati da će vanjski izgled biti previše otmjen, pri odabiru mjesta za jelo pripazite na čistoću unutrašnjosti i poslužitelja! Mogućnosti prehrane uključuju vrhunske restorane, lance do hramova, mame i pop trgovine i naravno ulične prodavače! Restorani obično označavaju ako poslužuju samo vegetarijansku (vege ili čistu vegetarijansku) ili vegetarijansku i nevegansku kuhinju. Ako dugo niste bili u Indiji, sigurnije je uzimati flaširanu vodu. Ali sokovi i druga pića obično su ok.
Postoje i stotine mladih štandova za sok od kokosa i šećerne trske! Lijepo osvježenje dok idete gradom! Obje su dobre za održavanje hladnoće i energije. Kokosov orah vrijedi za 25–30 ₹ (neki sastojci mogu imati manje kokosovih oraha za ₹ 10-15). Sok od šećerne trske iznosi ₹ 10-15 po šalici. Bangalore je daleko od mora i kao takva kvaliteta plodova mora može varirati. Neki od viših i popularnih morskih plodova dobro uspijevaju, ali strani putnici možda žele malo oprezno kročiti.
Stranci bi možda željeli piti samo flaširanu vodu i jesti samo dimnjake proizvedene s flaširanom ili filtriranom vodom. Također, govedini je zabranjeno biti na jelovniku u restoranima Karnataka.
Cesta od 80 stopa (24 m) je Ulica za jelo Koramangala. Pizza Hut, Domino's, KFC, Taco Bell, Au Bon Pain nalaze se ovdje. Postoje i mnogi lanci koji poslužuju domaću indijsku kuhinju. Chandni Chowk izvrsna je opcija ako želite ruralno iskustvo punjabi dabe.
Kafić Wisdom, u blizini izložbenog prostora AlienWare, zaista je ugodno mjesto za užinu ili ručak. Takva je i rupa u kafiću Wall, u stražnjoj ulici iza hotela Maharaja. Poslužuje izvrsnu kavu i engleski doručak. Kao i Cafe Terra, u blizini prijelaza Wipro park. Uz njega je stvarno popularan spoj hrane nazvan Mali dom.

Proračun
Bangalore ima stotine brzih restorana koji poslužuju južnoindijsku vegetarijansku hranu.

- Others around Majestic, If you are free for an hour, you can just go around the Majastic theatre and the Kempe Gowda Bus Station and look for a budget hotel yourself, as there are many on small streets and roads around this place.

But there is a wrong notion in the minds of people in and around Majestic that whenever you go in pairs, they tend to look at you with a wrong and suspicious look.

Ostati siguran
Bangalore is a relatively safe city during day time. However, most of Bangalore practically shuts down a little before midnight - even very safe residential areas can be very desolate by 11PM. In the morning people start getting out from 5 or 6 am, but it's usually still dark outside at that time, so exercise caution if you are in an unfamiliar area.
Some of the lower-income areas can be somewhat unsafe once it gets dark. Exercising caution and good sense will increase your chances of staying safe.
- It is not advisable to walk alone along deserted alleyways or lanes after dark. Avoid doing so in areas that you are not sure are reasonably safe
- Avoid using an auto-rickshaw if the driver is not alone, especially at night
- Do not flaunt jewellery, high-end mobile phones / laptops, watches etc.
- Do not withdraw large amounts of cash from ATMs in deserted areas.
- Beware of pickpockets in crowded areas such as exhibitions, cricket matches, train stations, etc.
- If you are returning late from a party, it is advisable to pre-book cabs through reputed companies such as Meru, Ola, or Uber as against flagging down an auto-rickshaw on the road
- Exercise caution in stopping to help if you see a broken down vehicle at night, especially in lonely streets and in cases where you will be outnumbered
Rising incomes has brought an influx of people including white and blue collar immigrants, leading to disparities in earnings between locals, the casual labour immigrants and expatriates (people from other parts of the state and also from other countries) which arguably has resulted in a substantial increase in crime rates.
Spojiti
The area code for Bangalore is 080. When calling from overseas, dial 91 80 XXXX XXXX ( if the phone is a land-line connection). If you don’t have an Indian phone number, it is strongly recommended that you get a pre-paid calling card if you plan on using your phone frequently. Because of new government regulations, you need a photocopy of your passport (visa and the ID pages), a color photo, and proof of local address (in Bangalore) when buying a pre-paid card. If you do not have the required paperwork, it is recommended that you ask a local friend to buy a pre-paid card on your behalf. Pre-paid cards are sold in a few of the shops that sell mobile equipment.
Public telephones are a good option and are available widely. Most shops that offer public phones sport easily visible "STD/ISD/PCO" signages. More often than not, public pay-phones are post-pay and there will be a person at the shop to take the payments. Check the bill generated from the machine and make the payment accordingly. Payments are always in Indian Rupees.
Stanični
Mobile phone coverage in the city is excellent. There are many service providers (Airtel, BSNL, Oslanjanje Jio, Idea-Vodafone) offering a wide variety of plans. If you are planning on travelling around outside the metropolitan area it might be a good idea to buy a mobile phone and use one of the pre-paid plans to get yourself connected whilst you are still in the city. However, there may be network congestion in certain areas and hence, slow internet connections.
Internet
There are plenty of Internet centres which charge between ₹10-₹25 per hr. If you have laptop with WiFi connection, free internet services are available at some malls, restaurants, and hotels. However, free public WiFi is not the norm. MG Road and Brigade road now has street-wide free WiFi. Hop on to the Namma WiFi wireless network and register using your mobile number for a one-time password for internet access.
High speed USB data cards are very common and all telecom providers (see Spojiti section) offer these over-the-counter at their stores. Typically need some proof of identity and address to activate these. Nowadays, it is easier to just buy a sim card with 4G data and host a WiFi hotspot.
Snaći se
Bangalore is a clean city (compared to other major Indian cities such as Mumbaiju i Kolkata) and epidemics are rare. However, foreign tourists should be cautious about consuming water and eating at roadside stalls. It is recommended to use bottled water if the source of drinking water is unknown.
It is recommended to use mosquito repellents, either as a cream applied on the skin (ask for Odomos at local medical stores) or in the electronic form, during the evenings.
It is always a good idea to carry a minimal medicine kit with medicines for common diseases and conditions. Most of the international medicines are available in medical stores, though the name and brand may be different. So, it is advisable to do some research on the alternatives or consult a general physician, if needed.
Ambulances can be requested by calling 108.
Pharmacies
Pharmacies are dime a dozen and you should not have any problem locating one. You do not need any prescription for Modern Medicine Over the Counter drugs, or for ayurvedic medicine (proprietary and traditional), which are available for most common ailments like fever, headache, etc., But you will need prescription for other medicines, which are categorized as Schedule H drugs.

Razmjena valute
Kioske / šaltere za razmjenu novca nećete pronaći u svim dijelovima Bangalorea, jer Bangalore nije primarno odredište za većinu turista niti je ulazna točka za većinu turista koji ulaze u regiju. Međutim, većina banaka nudi mjenjačnicu u svim svojim podružnicama, kao i neke turističke agencije. Tečajevi se mogu ponešto razlikovati, pa je uputno kupovati. Obično turističke agencije nude bolji tečaj od banaka. Neke "izvan službene" agencije mogu se naći oko komercijalnog područja M.G. Cesta. Oni će ponuditi dobru cijenu, bez traženja kopije putovnice. Cijena bi se mogla pogađati. Uvijek dvaput provjerite novčanice nakon što se izvrši zamjena.
