Bangalore, nüüd tuntud ametlikult kui Bengaluru (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು), on pealinna Indiaanlane seis Karnataka. Tänapäeval on see suur kosmopoliitne linn, kus elab palju töölisi. Bangalore on India infotehnoloogia (IT) tööstuse peamine keskus ja kogu maailmas tuntud kui "India ränikoru".
Saage aru
Kunagi nimetatud "India aedlinnaks" ja "Pensionäride paradiisiks" ei kehti need epiteedid tänapäevase Bangalore kohta.
Ajalugu
Varaseimad andmed "Bengaluru" nimelise koha kohta leiduvad üheksanda sajandi templis piirkonnas, mida praegu nimetatakse "vanaks Bangaloreks".
Legend räägib, et kui feodaal Kempe Gowda kunagi selles piirkonnas küülikuid küttis, ilmus jänes ja ründas tema koera. See jättis Gowdale suurepärase mulje ja ta pani sellele kohale nimeks gandu bhoomi (kangelaste koht). 1537. aastal ehitas ta kohaliku kuninga abiga kohale kolm linnaosa, mida kaitses müüriga varustatud kindlus.
Järgmise kolme sajandi jooksul eksisteeris Bangalore väga palju naaberlinna varjus, Mysoreja kontroll linna üle vahetas mitu korda omanikku. Aasta 1831 tähistas linna suurt pöördepunkti. Väites, et kuningas Krishna Raja Wodeyar III on eksinud, võtsid britid Mysore'i kuningriigi juhtimise enda kätte ja võisid linna tervislikku kliimast mõjutatuna viia administratiivpealinna Bangalore. Pandi uued telekommunikatsioonisüsteemid, ehitati raudteeühendused, ehitati peened valitsushooned ning rajati linna kuulsad pargid ja aiad. Pärast iseseisvumist säilitas Bangalore oma positsiooni Kreeka osariigi pealinnana Karnataka ja kasvab jätkuvalt.
Paljude aastate jooksul peeti Bangalore Indias kõige rohelisemaks, liberaalsemaks ja edasiviivamaks linnaks. Need atribuudid on ajanud Bangalore India kõrgtehnoloogilise tööstuse buumi esirinnale ning see on India üks arenenumaid linnu ja üks maailma kõige kiiremini kasvavaid linnapiirkondi.
Populaarne müüt, mis seletab emakeelset nime Bengaluru on see, et see pärineb Benda Kaalu Uru (Keedetud ubade linn). Lugu räägib, et selle nime pani linnale kuningas Vira Ballala, kes, olles samas piirkonnas eksinud, pakkus vana naine keedetud ube.
Kliima
Erinevalt India suurlinnadest, mis on suvekuudel äärmiselt kuumad, on Bangalore aastaringselt suhteliselt leebe kliima.
- Suvi - veebruar - mai (tipptemperatuur on aprillis ja mais)
- Monsoon - juuni kuni oktoober (kõige tugevam vihm on tavaliselt juuni ja augusti vahel)
- Talv - november kuni jaanuar (jaanuar on kõige külmem kuu)
Suvised temperatuurid võivad ulatuda 36 ° C-ni (varahommikused temperatuurid talvel) umbes 12 ° C (54 ° F).
Bangalorel on aga ettearvamatu ilm, mis pole palju erinevalt teatud läänelinnadest. Üsna tavaline on soe päikeseline päev, millele järgnevad õhtused dušid, mis lõpevad jahedate öödega. Niisiis, olge valmis aasta suuremaks osaks (eriti maist novembrini).
Räägi
Olles Ungari pealinn Karnataka, Bangalores laialt levinud ja ametlik keel on Kannada. Enamik inimesi oskab rääkida ja mõista inglise keelt Hindi keel. Teised India keeled, näiteks Malajalami, Tamili keel, Telugu, Bengali keel ja Urdu räägivad vastavad rändajate ja vähemuste kogukonnad. Kuna Bangalore on kaubandus- ja kultuurikeskus, on see ka väike Konkani, Marathi ja Tulu kõlarid.
Enamik auto rikšajuhte, bussijuhte ja poemüüjaid saavad vestelda vähemalt inglise keeles. Mõned neist saavad aru hindi, tamili ja telugu keeltest. Märgid kirjutatakse üldjuhul nii kannada kui ka inglise keeles. Põhiteadmised kannada keelest tulevad aga kohalikega suheldes väga kasuks.

Lennukiga
- 1 Kempegowda rahvusvaheline lennujaam (BLR IATA) (Devanahallis, 40 km (25 mi) Bangalore keskärist (Mahatma Gandhi ("MG") maantee) ja 30 km (19 mi) Bengaluru linna raudteejaamast.), ☏ 91 80 6678-2255, 91 80 6678-2251, tasuta: 1 800 425 4425, ✉[email protected]. Lennujaama suhtes kehtivad aeg-ajalt 15. novembrist 15. veebruarini ajavahemikus 3.00–8.30 (IST) udu tõttu käitamispiirangud. Hommikuse udu tõttu võib mõnel hommikul esineda lennu hilinemist ja ümbersuunamist. Lennujaam on India hõivatumaid ja moodsamaid. Lennujaamas on 10 siseriiklikku ja 21 rahvusvahelist lennuettevõtjat, mis ühendavad linna umbes 50 sihtkohaga.
Lennujaamal on rahvusvaheline ja riigisisene terminal. Neil on sama hoone, kuid nad asuvad erinevatel külgedel - kodumaised väravad asuvad lääneküljel, samal ajal kui suuremad rahvusvahelised väravad asuvad idas. Seal on sularahaautomaadid, valuutavahetusbürood, kaks ühikut Kohvikute kohvipäev ja muud kohvikud, tollimaksuvabad kauplused, restoranid ja päevahotellid lennujaamas. Lennujaamast lahkudes kontrollige kindlasti pagasi registreerimise aja piiranguid ja võtke lennujaama kaasa pardakaardi väljatrükk. Varahommikul väljuvate lendude puhul (näiteks kell 3 hommikul) peate võib-olla oma kotid sisse registreerima sama palju kui 2½ tundi ette.
Lennufirmad
Lennujaam on kesklinnaks peaaegu kõigile siseriiklikele lennuettevõtjatele, näiteks GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet ja Vistara.
Rahvusvahelised lennuettevõtjad hõlmavad järgmist Air India, Air France, AirAsia, Malaysian Airlines, Air Mauritius, British Airways, Dragonair, Emiraadid, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, Scoot Tigerair, SriLankaan Airlines, Qatar Airways ja Thai Airways.
Lennujaam keskse äripiirkonna juurde
- BussidBangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) sõidab busse erinevatest linna punktidest iga 15 minuti järel Kempegowda rahvusvahelisse lennujaama. 156 bussi sõidab lennujaama ja tagasi. Neist 40 on konditsioneeriga Volvo bussid, nimega Vayu Vajra. Nendes bussides on iga reisi maksumus vahemikus ₹ 50 kuni ₹ 250, sõltuvalt vahemaast. See on odavaim ja äärmiselt mugav viis lennujaama jõudmiseks. Lisaks on see teenus saadaval iga päev, nii päeval kui öösel. Selle transpordiliigi kasutamisel pidage meeles, et bussipeatusest lõppsihtpunkti jõudmiseks peate sõitma rikšaga või kelleltki liftiga.
- Taksod
- Lennujaama poolt heaks kiidetud taksod Lennujaama saabuvatele reisijatele on spetsiaalne taksode hoidmise piirkond. Selle valduspiirkonna taksod kasutavad arvesteid kiirusega .5 19,5 kilomeetri kohta. Maanteele sisenedes peate maksma ka the 120 teemaksu. Bangalore kesklinna äripiirkonda jõudmine maksab umbes 600 ₹ ja umbes 700. Koramangala. Neid taksosid haldab kumbki EasyCabs, Meru kabiinid või KSTDC. Kuid lugejad on teatanud, et Meru kabiinid on ebausaldusväärsed, kuna on teada, et mõned kabiinijuhid tühistavad broneeringud viimasel hetkel, kui nad leiavad tänavale vastutulemisest parema pakkumise teel teel lennujaama. Teekond kuhugi Bangalore ei tohiks maksta rohkem kui 800–1000 ₹. Lisateavet leiate veebisaidilt lennujaama sait.
- Mitteametlikud taksod Võite leida sõidu Bangalore Citysse palju odavama kiirusega, kui võtate a takso ei ole lennujaama poolt heaks kiidetud, aga ainult kui olete valmis riskima. Selliseid taksosid juhtivad taksojuhid üritavad teiega läbirääkimisi pidada palju madalama piletihinnaga, kui on EasyCabsi ja Meru kabiini hind, mõnikord vaid 200–300 for sõidu eest kesklinna äripiirkonda. Neid taksosid võib leida otse terminali väljaku juurest, kaetud jalutuskäigu juurest, mis viib parklani. Kui te kõnniteelt lahkute, võivad mõned taksojuhid muutuda üsna agressiivseteks ja võivad proovida teie pagasit teie loata võtta. Parim asi, mida teha, on jälgida oma asju ja olla nende üle kontrolli all. Isegi kõige agressiivsem taksojuht või tout jätab teid rahule, kui seisate kindlalt ja ütlete selgelt, et te ei soovi tema abi. Selliseid taksosid peaksite kasutama ainult siis, kui teil on ettekujutus sobivatest taksotariifidest ja olete valmis petmise vältimiseks väga kõvasti tingima. Enne kabiini sisenemist on soovitatav hind kokku leppida; sihtkohta jõudes pole jootraha vaja.
- Rakenduspõhised taksod Nutitelefoni rakendustel põhinevad taksoteenused tegutsevad Bangalores ja paljud pakuvad teenuseid lennujaama. Need töötavad pikapist veidi väljaspool terminalihoonet. Võite jälgida rakenduspõhise taksotranspordi märke. Nende teenuste kasutamiseks peate rakenduse nutitelefoni alla laadima ja Interneti-ühenduse olema. Kui teil pole ja India SIM-kaarti ega odavaid rändlusandmeid, võite parem kasutada mõnda muud taksoteenust, kuna lennujaama WiFi võib tipptundidel üle koormata.
- Limusiinid ja isejuhtivad autod Hertz ja Akbar Travels pakuvad lennujaama terminalihoone lettide kaudu ettemakstud limusiini ja autorendi võimalusi. Need maksavad keskse äripiirkonna sõidu eest rohkem kui 1200 ₹. Üldjuhul on üksikuid isejuhtivate autode valikuid: kompaktne valik (Suzuki Swift), keskmine vahemik (Ford Fiesta), tavavalik (Toyota Corolla), mitmeotstarbelised sõidukid (Toyota Innova) ja sportautod (Ford Ettevõtmine). Autod antakse üürnikele täis kütusepaagiga ja need tuleb tagastada täis kütusepaagiga. Pakutakse paindlikku transpordi võimalust linnas ja lennujaamas. Rentijad saavad oma autod lennujaamast kätte võtta ja maha anda kõikjal linnas, Chennais või Hyderabadis. Samamoodi võib autodele järele tulla kõigist neist linnadest ja lennujaamas maha jätta. Kehtivad tingimused - näiteks peavad rentijad olema üle 21-aastased ja neil peab olema Indias kehtiv juhiluba. Võib osutuda vajalikuks teha palju paberitöid ning sõltuvalt renditavast ettevõttest ja auto tüübist võib vaja minna suurt tagatisraha. Enne plaanide tegemist kontrollige palun aegsasti.
- Hotelli vastutulek Võite hotelliga kokku leppida, et juht võtaks teid lennujaamas peale. Mõni hotell, eriti kõrgema klassi hotell, pakub seda teenust tasuta, kui peatute nende juures, kuigi mõned võivad küsida teilt midagi umbes 2500 ₹ (palju kõrgem kui lihtsalt taksoga sõitmine). See võib olla hea võimalus, kui reisite Bangaloresse esimest korda. Juht ootab teie nime kandva sildiga lennujaama saabumispiirkonnas.
- Kopter Kui teil on kiire ja teil on palju raha, pakub helikopteriteenuseid Linnuke ja Dekani lennundus. Bangalores on kaheksa kopteriväljakut. Rahvusvahelisest lennujaamast sõites saate tagasi umbes 5000 ₹.
Rongiga
- Vaata ka Rongireis Indias.
Bangalores on palju raudteejaamu, millest igaüks teenindab teatud ronge:
- 1 Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru (IR-jaama kood: SBC, varem tuntud kui Bengaluru linna jaam), Raudteejaam Rd, Kempegowda, Sevashrama (Majestic Bussi stendi vastas, Metro Green / Purple: Nadaprabhu Kempegowda jaam: Majestic). Enamik kohalikke ja kaugronge saabub ja väljub siit. Platvormid: # 1 kuni 7 ühendavad Chennai (360 km (220 mi), 5-6h, ₹ 125-1105) ja Salem (Hosuri kaudu), # 8 kuni 10 Hublini Yeshwantpuri, Tumkuri, Biruri kaudu, # 5 kuni 10 suunas Mysore. Sealt väljuvad ka rongid Hyderabad Guntakali kaudu.
- 2 Yeswantpuri ristmik (IR-jaama kood: YPR, ka Yesvantpur Junction), NH-4 (Tumkuri tee) (Metroo (roheline liin): Yeswantpuri jaam, BMT buss, mis teenindab jaama oma Yeshwantapuri vanal turul (lähemal 1. platvormile), on 90E Majesticist, 91C ja 52E Krishna Rajendra turult, tuntud ka kui City market, 94E Shivajinagarist, K1 Püha Johannese haigla). Bangalore teine peamine raudteeterminal. Siit saabuvad ja väljuvad mõned (enamasti pikamaa) rongid. Kõik peatused Hubli suunas peatuvad siin. Teenused: pensionile jäävad toad ja ühiselamud, AC VIP Lounge, Essentiali kioskid ja sularahaautomaat.
- 3 Bengaluru idaosa (IR-jaama kood: BNCE), Keraamika Rd. (Keskusest kirdes umbes 5 km (3,1 mi)). Väiksem.
- 4 Bengaluru kanton (IR-jaama kood: BNC), Cantonmenti raudteejaama tee, Kaverappa paigutus, Vasanth Nagar. Väiksem. Teenused: Reisijate broneerimiskeskus, AC VIP-salong, päringulauad, esmatarbekioskid, Toiduväljak, ATM. PF-1A (1. platvormi tupikülge) kasutatakse selliste rongide peatamiseks nagu 12509/10 Guwahati Tri-Week Express, 12503/04 Agartala Humsafar Weekly Express, 18635/36 Hatia Weekly Express, 56503/04 Vijayawada Passenger ja 2 DMU teenust opereerides Kolarist Bangarpeti kaudu. Peamisi platvorme kasutavad peatamiseks kõik seda jaama läbivad rongid, välja arvatud 12007/08 Chennai Mysore shatabdi Express
- 5 Krishnarajapurami raudteejaam (KJM), Välimine ringtee, Jyothi Puram, Krishnarajapura (Kõik bussid vahemikus 303 kuni 320, välja arvatud 314. seeria, Majestic / Shivajinagar / Market & Ulsoor'ile / tagasi.). Tähtis peatus IT-ettevõtete läheduse ja ringtee vahel, mis möödub jaama lähedalt ja on bussidega suurte osadega hästi ühendatud. See on ka 1. peatus enamusele rongidest, mis väljuvad Yeshvantapurist Jolarpettai suunas.
- 6 Kengeri (KGI), Kengeri satelliitlinn, Kengeri (5 minuti jalutuskäigu kaugusel Kengeri TTMC-st Mysore teel). Tähtis peatus, kuna läheduses asuvad elamupiirkonnad. See on peamine peatus kõigi rongide jaoks, mis tulevad Mysore'i küljelt. Kengeri bussipeatus Mysore teel on 5-minutilise jalutuskäigu kaugusel raudteejaamast, kus on juurdepääs suurtele ringteedele 401K (Yelahanka Vijayanagari kaudu), 401M (Yeshvantapur ringtee kaudu), 502F (Peenya), 375 (Banashankari Uttarahalli kaudu), 378 (Elektrooniline linn Uttarahalli kaudu) ja 222A / 226N Majestici ja Turu poole. Global Tech Park on siit umbes 3 km ja B.G.S Global Hospital umbes 5 km (3,1 mi).
Broneeringuid saab teha kas raudteejaamades või India raudteede broneerimise lettides suuremates äri- ja elamupiirkondades. Broneerida saab ka võrgus. Kui teete broneeringu Bengaluru linnas ja reisite Mysore'i, on Mysore'i reisijatele eraldi lett. Selle eesmärk on rahuldada suurt hulka reisijaid Bangalore ja Mysore vahel. Kui reisite pühapäeva pärastlõunal Mysore'i, saabuge varakult, kuna piletite ostmiseks on tavaliselt pikk järjekord.
Nagu kõigi India raudteereiside puhul, olge viivituste suhtes kannatlik. Rongid on tavaliselt õigel ajal (planeeritud ajast 20 minuti jooksul), kuid võivad mõnikord hilineda. Jaama digitaalne väljumistabel annab teada, millisel platvormil teie rong on ja mis kell see väljub.
Bengaluru erinevates raudteejaamades saate rongide saabumise / lahkumise ja broneeringuinfo staatuse saamiseks helistada numbril 139.
Reisimine alates Mumbai rongiga Bangaloresse kulub kaua (umbes 24 tundi). Bussid on suhteliselt kiiremad ja võtavad aega 18–20 tundi, tingimusel et Mumbais ja Punes pole liiklusummikuid. Efektiivne reisi aeg rongi või bussiga on pikk. Lennureise soovitatakse reisida Mumbai ja Bangalore vahel, mille kestus on umbes 90 min. Odavlennufirmad küsivad sama piletihinda kui kliirong või Volvo buss. Magamisklassi (non-air-con) rongisõit Mumbaiust Bangalore on siiski ökonoomne ja teil on vaade mõnele lopsakale igihaljastele metsadele ja jõeorgudele üle kogu Lääne-India. Delhi reis võib võtta 39 tundi (või kauem) ja lend pilet vaid kaks korda suurem kui aeglase rongi summa.
Jaoks Välisturistide kvoot, minge vasakul asuvasse suurde hoonesse, enne kui sisenete rongijaama peamise juurdepääsu kaudu. See on hoone "Reserveerimata piletid" (isegi kui küljeuksel on kiri "Reserveerimiskeskus"). Esimesel korrusel on reservide peainspektor. Ametnik broneerib teile pileti (pärast välismaalase passi näitamist). Nad võivad suunata teid peahoone esimese leti juurde. Kuid seal peate seisma järjekorras, samas kui siin saate istuda kontoris ja oodata, kui nad teile pileti broneerivad.
Bussiga
Kui teil on raskusi lennuki või raudtee pileti korraldamisega järgmisse sihtkohta / tagasi või eelistate natuke rohkem seiklust, võite minna bussiga. Valitsus- ja erabussid sõidavad edasi suurematesse linnadesse ja tagasi Mumbai, Goa, Chennai, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tirupati, Hyderabadjne. Bussid võivad olla regulaarliinid, kus on ainult istekohad ja kliimaseade puudub, tavaline luksusbuss, Volvo A / C buss või magamiskoht buss ööseks reisimiseks. Bussid sobivad ka suurenenud teeninduse tõttu paljudest Karnataka linnadest, kus pole palju ronge - enamikul Karnataka linnadest on sisuliselt tagatud riigipealinna teenindus.
- 7 Kempegowda bussijaam (Majesteetlik bussijaam, Kannada: ಕೆಂಪೇಗೌಡ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ), Gandhi Nagar, linnaliinibuss (Peamine bussipeatus asub Kempegowda bussijaama ja Metro Green / Purple Kempegowda / Majestic kõrval.). Üks suurimatest bussipeatustest linnas on see bussipeatus mõeldud suurematele bussidele marsruutidel Karnataka (välja arvatud Mysore tee äärsed bussid), Andhra Pradeshi, Telangana, Maharashtra ja Goa liinidel. see on ühtlasi ka suurim ristuv punkt Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), kes haldab bussiliini Bangalore piires. Bussipeatus asub linna raudteejaama vastas.
- 8 MCTC (Mysore Roadi satelliitbusside stend), Bapuji Nagar, Mysore tee (Majesteetlik: KSRTC süstikud, BMTC 220 kuni 235; Turg: Seeria 220 kuni 235; Šivajinagar: 222E, 226N, 121B; Jayanagar: 60A kuni L; Yeshvantapur: K-2; Jalahalli rist: 248). Üks Bangalore'i olulistest bussipeatustest, mille eesmärk on Majestici bussipeatuse dekongestamine, pakub see bussipeatus kõiki tavalisi ja luksuslikke teenuseid Mysore'i suunas, samuti riikidevahelisi tavalisi ja luksuslikke teenuseid Mysore'i kaudu Keralasse, mida haldavad Karnataka ja Kerala osariigi valitsused. . Sellest kohast algavad ka tavalised ja luksuslikud kasutused, mis on seotud Ootyga, Coimbatore Mysore / Kollegali kaudu. Kõik tavalised teenused, mida Tamil Nadu osariigi maanteetranspordi korporatsioon osutab Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Salem, Vriddachalam, Kanchipuram, Coimbatore ja Trichy, kasutavad seda bussipeatust bussiliinide lõpetamiseks
- 9 Šantinagar (Double Road Bus seista), K. H. Road (Majesticilt: 171, kõik bussid 340-372; Šivajinagarist: 13, 13A kuni 13K, 27,27E, 29,210F, G, GA, Q, K6). Üks Bangalore'i olulistest bussipeatustest, mille eesmärk on Majestici bussipeatuse dekongestamine, pakub see bussipeatus kõiki luksuslikke teenuseid Tamilnadu suunas, mida haldavad nii KSRTC kui ka Tamilnadu osariigi SETC. Mõned Kerala osariigi transpordikorporatsiooni bussid, mis sõidavad Salemi kaudu Keralasse, läbivad selle terminali.
Samuti on palju mitteametlikke peatusi, kuhu bussid soovi korral lähevad (isegi reserveeritud istmetega luksusbussides võite paluda konduktoril peatuda sellises peatuses seni, kuni see asub Bangalores / samas linnas kui teie pileti peatus ) või lasevad reisijatel isegi pileteid broneerida. Nendel kohtadel puudub igasugune jaamainfrastruktuur, kuid need asuvad tavaliselt vaatamisväärsuste lähedal, suurematel tänavatel / ringidel / väljakutel ning loomulikult võivad neid märgata arvukad ümberringi tunglevad bussid. Üks eriti kasulik peatus on Yeswanthpur Junction, mis asub nii samanimelise pikamaa rongijaama kui ka Yeswanthpuri metroojaama kõrval.
Kaugbussibusside eksponeerimislauad näitavad sihtkohta kohalikus keeles Kannada. Kui te ei oska kannada keelt, peate tõenäoliselt õigest bussile istumiseks abi saama. Kuid kõik uuemad Volvo bussid on varustatud elektrooniliste näidikutega, mis näitavad üksteise järel sihtkohta kannada keeles ja inglise keeles. Mitte-Volvo bussid on järk-järgult nende elektrooniliste näidikutega varustatud; see peaks bussisõidu palju lihtsamaks tegema, kui kohalik keel ei ole teile tuttav. Siiski sõidab teedel endiselt palju vanemaid Ashok Leylandi ja isegi mõned väga vanad Tata bussid, nii et kõige parem on minna aja järgi või küsida konduktorilt, kuhu buss suundub (tavaliselt küsides sihtkoha nime nagu küsimus) , näiteks "Mysore?", ja kuulmine, kui dirigent vastab sama või teise nimega).

Autoga
Indias sõitmine võib olla väga stressirohke. Sõidurajadistsipliin praktiliselt puudub, levinud on liigne honkimine, suur sõiduki tihedus, liiklusseaduste eiramine koos žiletiga õhukeste möödumisvarudega. Üks sõit taksoga veenab teid tõenäoliselt, et ise sõitmine pole riski väärt, nii et kui soovite siiski autoga kohale jõuda, siis tõenäoliselt soovite palgata auto ja juhi. Maksumus varieerub, kuid enamik auto ja juhi kombinatsioone maksab 1400–1700 ₹ päevas. Palgatud erataksode piletihinnad on tavaliselt 4 tunni / 40 km (25 mi) kordsed, kusjuures kliimaseadmeta väikeauto hind on umbes 450 ₹. Sõltuvalt sellest, kust te tulete, võite olla võimeline läbirääkimisi madalama hinnaga, kui reis pole kaugel, ja see võib olla kõrgem, kui reisite kaugele ja teie juht peab oma ajaga tagasi sõitma. Eelnev ligikaudne ettekujutus piletihinnast või vahemaast ning püsivad läbirääkimisoskused võivad tuua märkimisväärse kokkuhoiu. Kuigi see maksab rohkem, kaaluge kliimaseadmega auto taotlemist, kui te pole soojaga harjunud, eriti suvel. Konditsioneeriga auto aitab välja filtreerida ka õhusaaste, mis on märkimisväärne, eriti ülekoormatud teedel. Kui soovite midagi veelgi erilisemat, näiteks uhket autot või maasturit, olge valmis lisatasu maksma.
Liigu ringi
Metrooga
The Bangalore metroo (Namma metroo) on tõhus linnaülene raudteeveoteenus. Alates 2020. aasta märtsist ristuvad Kempegowda bussijaama Majestic Terminalis (nimega Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station Majestic) kaks liini, kokku 41 peatusega. Pileteid saab osta igas jaamas. Hinnad sõltuvad edasi-tagasi liikuvate jaamade arvust. Minimaalne hind on ₹ 10 ja maksimaalne maximum 60. 50 cost maksev kaart säästab teid järjekordadest ja seda saab veebis laadida (soovitatav on lettides laadida). Kaardid pakuvad tavahindadele 5% soodustust. Seenioridele, naistele jne soodustusi ei tehta. Piletid tuleb osta üle 3 jala pikkustele lastele.
Kui saate nutika märgi (ühe sõidupileti), pidage meeles, et see tuleb tagastada jaamas, kust väljute, nii et tehke sellest enne lahkumist pilt, kui soovite. Kõik rongid on 6 bussiga rongid. See vähendab rongides kiirustamist.
Olemasolevad marsruudid on:
- Ida-lääne joon / lilla joon: Baiyappanhalli (Old Madras Road) -> Swami Vivekananda Road -> Indiranagar -> Halasuru -> Trinity Circle -> MGRoad -> Cubbon Park -> Vidhana Soudha -> Sir M Vishweshwaraya Station Central College -> Kempegowda bussijaam (vahetusjaam) -> Linna raudteejaam -> Magadi tee -> Hosahalli -> Vijayanagar -> Attiguppe -> Deepanjalinagar -> Nayandahalli (Mysore Road) -

Bussiga
Bussid on odavad ja tavaliselt sagedased (ehkki teiste osariikidega võrreldes kallid). Kuid nende reisimine võib olla väga keeruline, kui te ei tunne süsteemi hästi. Nüüd on enamikul bussidel digitaalsed märgistused vaheldumisi kohalikus keeles kannada ja inglise keeles, kuid mõnedel bussidel on vanad trükitud sildid, millel on ainult marsruudi number inglise keeles, sihtkoha ja marsruudi teave on kirjutatud kannada keeles. Muidugi võib ka digitaalsete siltide kasutamisel bussidel kuvatud keele muutmine kaua aega võtta, mis tähendab, et bussist maha jäämine võib olla lihtne. See tähendab, et peate seda tegema tea, millist marsruudi numbrit vajate enne peale minekut, mille leiate veebisaidilt BMTC veebileht, BMTCRoutes.in veebisaidil, Desiroutes, sisestades Google Mapsis oma algus- ja lõpp-punkti või küsides kohalikelt.
Kõik bussipeatused pole selgelt tähistatud, nii et see võib teie esimesel reisil veidi keeruline olla. Ümberringi seisvad inimrühmad võivad olla heaks näitajaks, et buss seal peatub. Samuti on hea mõte küsida juhilt või dirigendilt, kas nad peatuvad peatuses, kuhu soovite minna (500 ja 500Q ei lähe kõikidesse samadesse peatustesse). Küsige lihtsalt nime küsimuse tooni ja saate vastuse. Konduktorid (neid on igal bussil üks ja nad koguvad piletihindu ja väljastavad pileteid - need on alati vormiriietuses) abiks ka siis, kui ütlete, kui te küsite, ütleme teile, kus / millal teie peatus on, nagu ka kaasreisijad. Bussisüsteemi postitatud marsruudikaarte on harva, ehkki kaarte müüakse peamistes bussiterminalides (Kempegowda bussipeatus ja Shivajinagar). BMTC (tasuta) ☏ 1-800-425-1663.
Olge ettevaatlik: mõned bussijuhid panid marsruudimärgi tuuleklaasi paremasse alanurka, selle asemel, et see asetuks esiklaasi ülaosas olevale sildihoidjale.
Mustade vitriinidega bussid sõidavad linna piires. Punase lauaga bussid läbivad pikki vahemaid ja lähevad külgnevatesse äärelinnadesse. Tavalised linnaliinibussid on valget ja sinist või rohelist värvi. Uuemad linnaliinibussid on tavaliselt sinist värvi ja neil on LED-ekraanid. On siniseid Volvo busse, nn Vajra, mis töötavad peamiselt IT-sektori marsruutidel nagu Elektrooniline linn , ITPL ja välise ringtee marsruutidele ning turistidele mõeldud kohtadesse nagu Bannerghatta rahvuspark ja nädalavahetuse teenused Wonderla. Nad pakuvad mugavat konditsioneeriga sõitu kõrgemate hindadega (1 1/2 kuni 2 korda tavalise bussihinnaga võrreldes) tavaliste bussidega (mis ei ole konditsioneeritud). Erinevalt enamikust teistest bussidest on Vajradel ees ja külgedel valgustatud LED-ekraaniplaadid, mis näitavad sihtkoha ja marsruudi teavet inglise keeles kui ka kannada keeles.
Samuti tegutseb BMTC Vayu Vajra teenused Bangalore rahvusvahelisse lennujaama erinevatest sihtkohtadest üle linna. KIAS-9 on marsruutidest kõige sagedasem, ühendades lennujaama Majestic Bussi stendiga.
Linnabussid on tipptundidel rahvarohked, mis on vähemalt 7–10 ja 5–9 (M-Sa), kuid päeval võib liikuda väheste raskustega. Bussiteenused algavad tavaliselt kell 5 või 6 hommikul ja on harvemad kell 9.30–10.00 ning haruldased pärast kella 22.30. Pange tähele ka seda, et Bangalore liiklus on kurikuulus. Reis üle linna võib kesta kuni 4 tundi, eriti tipptundidel. Bussiradu pole, nii et bussid, kabiinid ja autod seisavad silmitsi samade liiklusummikutega!
Linna suuremates bussides on naistele reserveeritud istekohad ees, esiuste ja keskmiste uste vahel. Esimene uks välisukse lähedal on reserveeritud vanuritele, keskmise ukse taga on aga liikumispuudega inimesed ja uksepoolne eakatele. Üldiselt võite bussi siseneda ja mõlemast uksest väljuda.
Alati on parem osta päevapilet, kui plaanite bussis terve päeva sõita. Päevapilet maksab alates 2018. aasta jaanuarist 70 ₹ ja see on kasulik, kui peate ühe päevaga sõitma mitme bussiga. Päevapassid väljastab valvev bussijuht või bussipeatuses. Selle pileti abil saate terve päeva jooksul sõita suvalises bussis (välja arvatud Vadžras), ükskõik mitu korda. Eakatele kodanikele antakse kehtiva ID-kaardi (nt passi) esitamisel kõigis bussides 25% soodustust. 4–12-aastastele lastele antakse 50% soodustust. Kuni 4-aastaste laste eest tasuta.
Seal on kolm suurt bussipeatust:
- 10 Kempegowda bussipeatus (Majesteetlik bussipeatus) (Gandhi Nagari lähedal, otse Bengaluru linna raudteejaama vastas). Üsna kenasti korraldatud ja hõlpsasti navigeeritav. Platvormi number 1 läheduses asub ‘Majestic’ juures uurimiskontor, kus saate küsida bussi numbrit ja platvormi soovitud sihtkoha jaoks. Väljapanekult leiate suure kaardi, mida saate kasutada vajaliku bussi numbri leidmiseks, kui teate piirkonda, kuhu lähete. Muidugi võite alati küsida dirigendilt või teistelt reisijatelt. Platvormidel müüakse ka marsruudikaarte. Olemas jaamad metroo mõlema liini jaoks.
- 11 Linnaturg. Majesticist umbes 2,5 km (1,6 miili) kaugusel. Võib uustulnukaid hirmutada, kuna see on väga korrastamata. See on suur mustuse parkla õhuliini all oleva maantee all ja busside pargimise koht on vähe.
- 12 Šivajinagar. Põhjas. See on kenasti korraldatud ja busside kohta leiate päringuakna. Kui vahetate bussi, peate võib-olla oma järgmise bussi jõudmiseks tänavale laskuma ja bussipeatusesse astuma. Siit leiate ka suure kaardi, mida saate kasutada vajaliku bussi numbri leidmiseks, kui teate piirkonda, kuhu lähete. Platvormidel müüakse ka marsruudikaarte.
Nendest kolmest bussipeatusest on bussid saadaval kõigis suuremates linnaosades. Nii käimasoleva metrooprojekti kui ka linna dekongestamise püüdluste tõttu on toimunud palju arenguid. BMTC lisab kogu aeg rohkem bussijaamu. Parem vaadata nende veebisaidilt viimaseid olukordi.
Automaatse rikšaga
 | Märge: Bangalore autoriksadel ja taksodel on hinnatud hinnasüsteem. Kallutamist ei oodata ega nõuta, kui kasutatakse autoriksi või taksoteenust. |
Autode rikšad (neid nimetatakse ka "auto") on kõikjal igal kellaajal. Need on rohelised-kollased või must-kollased kolmerattalised konstruktsioonid. Need on kiire (kuid ebaturvaline) viis linnas ringi liikumiseks - tiheda liikluse korral on need kiiremad kui takso või buss.
Auto-rikša peaks arvestama piletihindu meetri näidu järgi, mis võrdub ₹ 13-ga kilomeetri kohta, miinimumtasu 25 the esimese 1,8 km (1,1 miili eest) või vähem ja 50% -line lisatasu pärast 10:00 (nn "üks ja pool"). Raske pagas maksab lisatasu umbes 10–20 -20. Üldiselt kipuvad nad maksma ajutiselt, sõltuvalt sihtkoha kaugusest, võimalustest saada nimetatud kliendilt veel üks klient ja meeleolust. Kui arvesti on vigane või juht keeldub seda kasutamast, peaksite autost lihtsalt keelduma. Öeldes "meeter please", saab tavaliselt trikki.
Turistid peaksid olema ettevaatlikud, kui lähenevad öösel või tugevate vihmade ajal auto-rikastele. Võimalik, et nad küsivad ülikalleid hindu (mõned autojuhid võivad pärast kella 10.00 või 23.00 nõuda 100% lisatasu), kuid sellisel juhul peate keelduma pardale minemisest. Sellistel asjaoludel võiks automaatrikside kasutamiseks pöörduda kohaliku liikluspolitsei poole. Kui olete külastaja ja te ei tea marsruuti sihtkohta, on mõistlik enne pardale minekut tingida ja fikseerida, et vältida pikki keerulisi marsruute, mida juht kasutab - või kontrollida marsruuti GPS-i rajale salvestades oma mobiiltelefoni.
Autojuhid võtavad ajastuselt 9.00–6.00 tavaliselt 1,5 tariifi. Näiteks kui arvesti näit on 100 ₹, peate maksma 150 ₹. Autode püüdmine tavalisel piletihinnal on neil aegadel karm.
Teine asi, mida meeles pidada, on autos reisides kindel olla, kuid mitte vaidluses valju olla. Mõned vähem mainekad autojuhid võivad probleemide tekitamiseks juba keskel sõpradega kokku leppida. Pidage meeles, et kuigi bangalorealased on tuntud viisaka ja leebe käitumise poolest, on autojuhid tavaliselt erand. Mõni ei mõtle sellest, kui üritaks sind lahti rebida. Kui teil on kahtlusi, pöörduge kohaliku või oma hotelli reisilaua poole.
Kui rikša autojuht pakub teile võimalust mõnda ostukohta näidata / juhtida, keelduge kindlalt. Levinud taktika on juhtida teid kohalikesse poodidesse, kus teid survestatakse ostma India käsitööd, mida te tõenäoliselt ei soovi. Teadke oma sihtkohta ja nõudke seda.
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.
Taksoga
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 mitte 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.
Jalgrattaga
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 cycling.
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 Põrge, VOGO ja 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.
Vaata
There are city tours that can show you the city efficiently if you are short on time. Typically, tours do mitte 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.

Osta
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 ja 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 Kollektiiv 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. Tee (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.
Kaubanduskeskused
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 Elustiil (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.
Turud
The traditional markets have mom-and-pop stores that sell everything from fruits, vegetables, groceries to electronics, music, and mobile phones.
- 13 KR Market (City Market, Krishna Rajendra Market). The city's largest vegetable and fruit market is in the heart of the city

Töö
Indiaanlased
Parim viis Bangalores töö leidmiseks on töömessid, tööportaalid, otse huvipakkuvatele ettevõtetele kandideerimine ja jahimehed.
Mitte-India kodanike tööhõive määrus India eeskirjad võivad nõuda, et kõik Indias töötavad välisriikide kodanikud teeniksid vähemalt 25 000 USA dollarit aastas. See on vabastatud a) etniliste kokkade, b) keeleõpetajate (v.a inglise keele õpetajad) / tõlkide ja c) saatkonna / kõrgete komisjonide töötajate jaoks. Kontrollige oma kompensatsioonipakkumist, et vastaksite sellele nõudele ja saaksite tööviisa. Mõned välisriikide kodanikud töötavad palgaga, mis on sellest madalam, tavaliselt siiski vabaühenduste sektoris. |
India ränioruks nimetatud linn pakub India erinevatest nurkadest pärit noortele hulgaliselt töövõimalusi.
Mitte-indiaanlased
Veidi raske töö ja visadusega on töö leidmine Bangalores täiesti võimalik. Enamik saadaolevatest ametikohtadest on IT-valdkonnas, kuid mitte tingimata IT-põhised. Mitmed emigrandid tegelevad muu hulgas turunduse, kvaliteedi tagamise, aktsendikoolituse ja tõlkimisega. Kõikide töökohtade jaoks Indias on vaja tööviisat, mis tuleb hankida välismaalt ja mida peab toetama Indias tegutsev rendifirma. Üldiselt on emigrantide palk võrreldes kohaliku India palgaga väga kõrge. Parim ressurss töökohtade jaoks on emigrantide kogukonna kaudu. Küsige ringi, kuid hea koht emigrantidega kohtumiseks on pühapäevased brunchid viietärnihotellides või arvukates kohvikutes MG Roadi piirkonnas ja selle ümbruses.
Sööma
Bangalores on palju erinevaid toiduvalikuid. Välismaalased soovivad söögikoha valimisel otsida puhtust. Samuti ärge oodake, et välimus oleks liiga uhke, söögikoha valimisel jälgige sisemuse ja serverite puhtust! Söögivõimaluste hulka kuuluvad tipptasemel restoranid, templite ketid emale ja poppoodidele ning muidugi tänavakaupmehed! Restoranid märgistavad tavaliselt, kui nad pakuvad ainult taimetoitu (köögivilja või puhast köögivilja) või nii köögivilja kui ka muud köögivilja. Kui te pole Indias kaua viibinud, on kindlam võtta pudelivett. Kuid mahlad ja muud joogid on tavaliselt ok.
Leidub ka sadu noori kookospähkli- ja suhkruroogimahla stende! Mõnus värskendus linnas ringi liikudes! Mõlemad on head külma ja pinge all hoidmiseks. Kookospähkli hind on ₹ 25–30 (mõnel stendil võib olla väiksem kookospähkel ₹ 10-15). Suhkruroo mahl jookseb ₹ 10-15 tassi kohta. Bangalore on merest kaugel ja sellisena võib mereandide kvaliteet varieeruda. Mõni kõrgema klassi ja populaarseim mereandide koht haldab seda hästi, kuid välismaised reisijad võivad soovida natuke ettevaatlikult tallata.
Välismaalased võivad soovida juua ainult pudelivett ja süüa ainult pudelites või filtreeritud veega valmistatud chutneysid. Samuti on veiseliha keelatud olla menüüs Karnataka restoranides.
24 m tee on Koramangala söögitänav. Pizza Hut, Domino's, KFC, Taco Bell, Au Bon Pain leiate siit. Seal on ka palju mitte-kette, mis pakuvad kohalikku India kööki. Chandni Chowk on suurepärane võimalus, kui soovite maapiirkonna Punjabi dhaba kogemust.
AlienWare'i müügisalongi lähedal asuv Wisdom Cafe on tõeliselt hubane koht suupistete või lõunasöögi nautimiseks. Nii on ka Maharaja hotelli taga oleval tagatänaval asuvas kohvikus Auk. Pakutakse suurepärast kohvi ja Inglise hommikusööki. Nii ka Wipro pargi ülesõidukoha lähedal asuv Cafe Terra. Selle kõrval on tõeliselt populaarne toiduliit nimega Little Home. See pakub väga mõistliku hinnaga kena Põhja-India toitu. See on noorte töötavate elanike seas tõesti populaarne. Naturalsi jäätisesalong on puusarahva hitt; nädalavahetuse öödel võite leida väljas järjekordi.
Eelarve
Bangalores on sadu kiirtoiduliike, mis pakuvad Lõuna-India taimetoitu. Tavaliselt tähistatakse neid väikeste ümmarguste teraslaudade ja nende ümber seisvate söögikohtadega, kellel on toitu. Tavaliselt on tavaliselt hind Dosas, idlis, vada, kohupiimariis, Pulao köögivili, sambariga riis, sidruniriis. Kvaliteet varieerub suuresti, kuna enamik neist on mõeldud töötavatele inimestele.

- 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.

Ole turvaline
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.
Ühendage
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.
Mobiilne
Mobile phone coverage in the city is excellent. There are many service providers (Airtel, BSNL, Reliance 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 Ühendage 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.
Cope
Bangalore is a clean city (compared to other major Indian cities such as Mumbai ja 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.

Valuutavahetus
Kõigist Bangalore osadest ei leia rahavahetuskioskeid / lette, sest Bangalore ei ole enamiku turistide peamine sihtkoht ega ka enamus piirkonda sisenevate turistide sisenemiskoht. Kuid enamik panku pakub valuutavahetust kõigis oma harukontorites, nagu ka mõned reisibürood. Vahetuskursid võivad mõnevõrra erineda, seetõttu on soovitatav sisseoste teha. Tavaliselt pakuvad reisibürood paremat vahetuskurssi kui pangad. Mõningaid "ametiväliseid" agentuure võib leida M.G. Tee. Need pakuvad head hinda, ilma et paluks teil oma passi koopiat võtta. Hinda sai kaubelda. Pärast vahetamist kontrollige alati pangatähti uuesti.
