Bangalore, zdaj uradno znano kot Bengaluru (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು), je glavno mesto Indijski zvezna država Karnataka. Dandanes je to veliko, svetovljansko mesto z veliko delovno aktivnega prebivalstva. Bangalore je glavno središče indijske industrije informacijske tehnologije (IT) in je po vsem svetu znano kot "Indijska silicijeva dolina".
Razumeti
Nekoč imenovani "vrtno mesto Indije" in "raj upokojencev", ti epiteti ne veljajo za sodobni Bangalore.
Zgodovina
Najstarejši zapisi o kraju z imenom "Bengaluru" so v templju iz devetega stoletja na območju, ki je danes znano kot "Stari Bangalore".
Legenda pravi, da se je, ko je fevdni gospodar Kempe Gowda nekoč lovil zajce na tem območju, pojavil zajec in napadel njegovega psa. To je na Gowdo naredilo velik vtis in kraj je poimenoval gandu bhoomi (kraj junakov). Leta 1537 je s pomočjo lokalnega kralja na tem mestu zgradil tri okrožja, zaščitena z obzidano utrdbo.
V naslednjih treh stoletjih je Bangalore obstajal zelo v senci sosednjega mesta, Mysorein nadzor nad mestom je večkrat zamenjal lastnika. Leto 1831 je za mesto pomenilo veliko prelomnico. Britanci so trdili, da ga je kralj Krishna Raja Wodeyar III zmotil, in prevzeli nadzor nad kraljestvom Mysore in, verjetno pod vplivom blagodejnega podnebja, preselili upravno prestolnico v Bangalore. Postavljeni so bili novi telekomunikacijski sistemi, zgrajene železniške povezave, zgrajene lepe vladne zgradbe in vzpostavljeni znani mestni parki in vrtovi. Po osamosvojitvi je Bangalore ohranil položaj državne prestolnice Ljubljane Karnataka in še naprej raste.
Bangalore so dolga leta v Indiji veljali za najbolj zeleno, liberalno in v prihodnost usmerjeno mesto. Ti atributi so Bangalore potisnili v ospredje razcveta indijske visokotehnološke industrije in se uvršča med najrazvitejša mesta v Indiji in med najhitreje rastoča urbana območja na svetu.
Priljubljen mit, ki razlaga domače ime Bengaluru je, da izvira iz Benda Kaalu Uru (Mesto kuhanega fižola). Zgodba pripoveduje, da je mestu mesto dala kralj Vira Ballala, ki ji je stara ženska, čeprav se je izgubila na tem območju, ponudila kuhan fižol.
Podnebje
Za razliko od glavnih indijskih metropol, ki so v poletnih mesecih izredno vroče, Bangalore vse leto uživa razmeroma blago podnebje.
- Poletje - februar do maj (najvišja temperatura je aprila in maja)
- Monsun - junij do oktober (najmočnejši dež je običajno med junijem in avgustom)
- Zima - november do januar (januar je najhladnejši mesec)
Poletne temperature lahko dosežejo 36 ° C (97 ° F), zgodaj zjutraj pa se pozimi gibljejo okoli 12 ° C (54 ° F).
Vendar v Bangaloreju ni nepredvidljivega vremena, ki ni za razliko od nekaterih zahodnih mest. Pogosto je vroč sončen dan, ki mu sledijo večerne plohe, ki se končajo s hladnimi nočmi. Torej, bodite pripravljeni na dež večji del leta (zlasti od maja do novembra).
Govori
Biti glavno mesto Karnataka, splošno razširjen in uraden jezik v Bangaloreju je Kannada. Večina ljudi lahko govori in razume angleščino in Hindujščina. Drugi indijski jeziki, kot npr Malajalam, Tamilsko, Telugu, Bengalščina in Urdu govorijo ustrezne migrantske in manjšinske skupnosti. Ker je Bangalore trgovsko in kulturno središče, ga ima malo Konkani, Maratščina in Tulu zvočniki.
Večina voznikov avtomobilov, vodnikov avtobusov in prodajalcev se lahko pogovarja v vsaj osnovni angleščini. Nekateri bodo znali razumeti hindujščino, tamilščino in telugu. Znaki so praviloma napisani v kanadski in angleščini. Vendar pa je osnovno znanje kanadskega jezika zelo priročno pri interakciji z domačini.
Vstopi
Z letalom
- 1 Mednarodno letališče Kempegowda (BLR IATA) (V Devanahalliju, 40 km (25 milj) od osrednjega poslovnega okrožja Bangalore (cesta Mahatma Gandhi ("MG")) in 30 km (19 milj) od mestne železniške postaje Bengaluru.), ☏ 91 80 6678-2255, 91 80 6678-2251, brez cestnin: 1 800 425 4425, ✉[email protected]. Letališče je občasno podvrženo operativnim omejitvam zaradi megle med 15. novembrom in 15. februarjem med 3.00 in 8.30 (IST). Zaradi jutranje megle lahko nekaj jutranjih ur pride do zamud in preusmeritev leta. Letališče je med najbolj prometnimi in najsodobnejšimi v Indiji. Letališče gosti 10 domačih in 21 mednarodnih letalskih prevoznikov, ki povezujejo mesto s približno 50 destinacijami.
Letališče ima mednarodni in domači terminal. Imajo isto zgradbo, vendar so na različnih straneh - domača vrata so na zahodni strani, večja mednarodna vrata pa na vzhodni. Obstajajo bankomati, menjalnice, dve enoti Cafe Coffee Day in druge kavarne, brezcarinske trgovine, restavracije in dnevni hoteli na letališču. Ob odhodu z letališča preverite omejitve glede časa prijave prtljage in na letališče s seboj prinesite izpis vstopne karte. Za lete, ki odhajajo v zgodnjih jutranjih urah (na primer ob 3. uri zjutraj), boste morda morali kosilo oddati v kosilo 2½ ure vnaprej.
Letalski prevozniki
Letališče služi kot vozlišče skoraj vsem domačim letalskim prevoznikom, kot je GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet in Vistara.
Mednarodne letalske družbe vključujejo Air India, Air France, AirAsia, Malaysian Airlines, Air Mauritius, British Airways, Dragonair, Emirati, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, SilkAir, Scoot Tigerair, SriLankan Airlines, Qatar Airways in Thai Airways.
Letališče do osrednjega poslovnega okrožja
- AvtobusiBangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) vsakih 15 minut vozi do avtobusov z različnih mestnih točk do mednarodnega letališča Kempegowda. Na letališče in z njega leti 156 avtobusov. Od tega je 40 klimatiziranih avtobusov Volvo, imenovanih Vayu Vajra. Stroški za vsako potovanje v teh avtobusih se gibljejo med 50 in 250 JPY, odvisno od razdalje. To je najcenejši in izjemno priročen način do letališča. Poleg tega je ta storitev na voljo vsak dan, podnevi in ponoči. Med tem načinom prevoza se zavedajte, da se boste morali od avtobusne postaje do končnega cilja odpeljati z avtom ali z nekom odpeljati z rikšo.
- Taksiji
- Letališki taksiji Za potnike, ki prispejo na letališče, je namenjen prostor za zadrževanje taksijev. Taksiji na tem območju imajo števce meters 19,5 na kilometer. Ob vstopu na avtocesto boste morali plačati tudi cestnino v višini 120 JPY. Prihod do osrednjega poslovnega okrožja Bangalore stane približno 600 JPY, približno 700 JPY pa Koramangala. S temi taksiji upravljata oba EasyCabs, Kabine Meru ali KSTDC. Vendar so bralci poročali, da je kabina Meru nezanesljiva, saj je znano, da nekateri vozniki taksijev v zadnjem trenutku odpovedo rezervacije, če najdejo ugodnejšo ponudbo z uličnega prevzema na poti do letališkega prevoza. Potovanja kamor koli v Bangalore ne bi smela stati več kot 800–1000 JPY. Več informacij najdete na letališče.
- Neuradni taksiji Vožnja do mesta Bangalore boste morda našli precej ceneje, če se odpeljete po taksi, ki ga letališče ni odobrilo, ampak le če ste pripravljeni tvegati. Taksisti, ki vozijo takšne taksije, se bodo skušali dogovoriti z vami za precej nižjo ceno, kot sta jo zaračunali EasyCabs in Meru Cabs, včasih tudi do 300–300 JPY za vožnjo do osrednjega poslovnega okrožja. Te taksije lahko najdete tik pred terminalno plazo na pokriti stezi, ki vodi do parkirišča. Ko zapustite sprehajalno pot, lahko nekateri taksisti postanejo dokaj agresivni in si lahko brez vašega dovoljenja poskušajo vzeti prtljago. Najbolje je, da spremljate in nadzirate svoje stvari. Tudi najbolj agresiven taksist ali voznik vas bo pustil pri miru, če boste trdno odločni in jasno povedali, da ne želite njegove pomoči. Takšne taksije lahko uporabljate le, če se vam zdi, kakšne so ustrezne stopnje taksija, in ste pripravljeni zelo težko barantati, da ne bi prišli do prevare. Priporočljivo je, da se pred vstopom v kabino dogovorite za ceno; ko prispete na cilj, namig ni potreben.
- Taksiji, ki temeljijo na aplikacijah Taksiji, ki temeljijo na aplikacijah za pametne telefone, delujejo v Bangaloreju in mnogi zagotavljajo storitve do letališča. Ti delujejo od prevzemnega mesta malo dlje od stavbe terminala. Sledite znakom za prevzem taksija na osnovi aplikacije. Če želite uporabljati te storitve, boste morali v pametni telefon prenesti aplikacijo in imeti internetno povezavo. Če nimate indijske kartice SIM ali poceni podatkov o gostovanju, boste morda raje uporabili katero od drugih taksi storitev, saj je letališki WiFi v vrhuncu lahko preobremenjen.
- Limuzine in avtomobili na samovozi Hertz in Akbar Travels nudijo predplačniške limuzine in najem avtomobilov prek pultov v letališki terminali. Za potovanje v osrednjo poslovno četrt stanejo več kot 1.200 JPY. Na splošno obstaja nekaj ponudb samovozečih avtomobilov: kompaktna (Suzuki Swift), vmesna (Ford Fiesta), serijska (Toyota Corolla), večnamenska vozila (Toyota Innova) in športna terenska vozila (Ford Prizadevanje). Avtomobili dobijo najemniki s polnim rezervoarjem goriva in jih je treba vrniti s polnim rezervoarjem za gorivo. Na voljo je prilagodljiv prevzem in odvoz v mestu in na letališču. Najemniki lahko avtomobile prevzamejo na letališču in jih odpeljejo kjer koli v mestu ali v Chennai ali Hyderabad. Podobno lahko avtomobile prevzamete v katerem koli od teh mest in odložite na letališču. Veljajo pogoji - najemniki morajo biti na primer starejši od 21 let in imeti vozniška dovoljenja, veljavna v Indiji. Morda bo treba opraviti veliko papirnatih del in, odvisno od podjetja in vrste avtomobila, ki ga je treba najeti, bo morda potrebna velika kavcija. Pred načrtovanjem preverite vnaprej.
- Prevzem hotela S hotelom se lahko dogovorite, da vas na letališču popelje voznik. Nekateri hoteli, zlasti tisti višjega cenovnega razreda, ponujajo to storitev brezplačno, če bivate pri njih, čeprav vam nekateri morda zaračunajo približno 2.500 JPY (veliko višje kot le taksi). To je morda dobra izbira, če prvič potujete v Bangalore. Voznik vas bo čakal na območju prihoda letališča z napisom z vašim imenom.
- Helikopter Če se vam mudi in imate veliko denarja, storitve helikopterja ponuja Ptička in Deccan Letalstvo. V Bangaloreju je osem helipadnih ploščadi. Vožnja z mednarodnega letališča vas vrne za približno 5000 JPY.
Z vlakom
- Poglej tudi Železniška potovanja v Indiji.
V Bangaloreju je veliko železniških postaj, od katerih vsaka vozi z določenimi vlaki:
- 1 Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Bengaluru (Koda IR postaje: SBC, prej znana kot Bengaluru City Station), Železniška postaja Rd, Kempegowda, Sevashrama (Nasproti avtobusne postaje Majestic, podzemna zeleno / vijolična: postaja Nadaprabhu Kempegowda: Majestic). Večina lokalnih in medkrajevnih vlakov prihaja in odhaja od tu. Platforme: # 1 do 7 se poveže z Chennai (360 km (220 milj), 5-6h, ₹ 125-1.105) in Salem (prek Hosurja), od 8 do 10 do Hublija preko Yeshwantpurja, Tumkurja, Birurja, od 5 do 10 proti Mysore. Tam odhajajo tudi vlaki Hyderabad preko Guntakala.
- 2 Križišče Yeswantpur (Koda IR postaje: YPR, tudi Yesvantpur Junction), NH-4 (cesta Tumkur) (Metro (zelena linija): postaja Yeswantpur, avtobus BMTC, ki služi postaji na stari tržni strani Yeshwantapur (bližje platformi 1), je 90E od Majestic, 91C in 52E od tržnice Krišna Rajendra, znana tudi kot mestna tržnica, 94E od Shivajinagarja, K1 od Bolnica St. Johns). Drugi glavni železniški terminal v Bangaloreju. Od tod prihaja in odhaja nekaj vlakov (večinoma dolgih). Tu se ustavijo vsi vlaki proti Hubliju. Storitve: upokojenske sobe in spalnice, salon AC VIP, bistvene stojnice in bankomat.
- 3 Bengaluru vzhod (Koda IR postaje: BNCE), Pottery Rd. (Približno 5 km (3,1 milje) severovzhodno od središča). Manjši.
- 4 Kanton Bengaluru (Koda IR postaje: BNC), Cantonment Railway Station Rd, postavitev Kaverappa, Vasanth Nagar. Manjši. Storitve: Rezervacijski center za potnike, salon AC VIP, okenci, bistvene stojnice, hrana, ATM. PF-1A (slepa stran platforme 1) se uporablja za zaustavitev vlakov, kot so 12509/10 Guwahati Tri-Week Express, 12503/04 Agartala Humsafar Weekly Express, 18635/36 Hatia Weekly Express, 56503/04 Vijayawada Passenger in 2 DMU storitve obratuje iz Kolarja preko Bangarpeta. Glavne ploščadi za zaustavitev uporabljajo vsi vlaki, ki gredo skozi to postajo, razen 12007/08 Chennai Mysore shatabdi Express
- 5 Železniška postaja Krishnarajapuram (KJM), Zunanja obvoznica, Jyothi Puram, Krishnarajapura (Vsi avtobusi med 303 in 320, razen serij 314 do / od Majestic / Shivajinagar / Market & Ulsoor). Pomembna postaja zaradi bližine IT podjetij in obvoznice, ki je tik ob postaji in je z glavnimi deli dobro povezana z avtobusi. Oblikuje tudi prvo postajo za večino vlakov, ki zapuščajo Yeshvantapur proti Jolarpettai.
- 6 Kengeri (KGI), Mesto satelitov Kengeri, Kengeri (5 minut hoje od Kengeri TTMC na cesti Mysore). Pomemben postanek zaradi bližine stanovanjskih naselij v bližini. To je glavno postajališče za vse vlake, ki prihajajo z Mysoreja. Avtobusno postajališče Kengeri na cesti Mysore je oddaljeno 5 minut hoje od železniške postaje in ima dostop do glavnih obvoznic 401K (Yelahanka preko Vijayanagar), 401M (Yeshvantapur preko obvoznice), 502F (Peenya), 375 (Banashankari preko Uttarahalli), 378 (Elektronsko mesto preko Uttarahalli) in 222A / 226N proti Majestic in Market. Global Tech Park je od tod približno 3 km, bolnišnica B.G.S Global Hospital pa približno 5 km.
Rezervacije lahko opravite na železniških postajah ali na okencih za rezervacijo indijskih železnic v večjih trgovskih in stanovanjskih območjih. Lahko tudi rezervirate na spletu. Če rezervirate v mestu Bengaluru City in potujete v Mysore, je za potnike v Mysore na voljo ločen števec. To bo poskrbelo za veliko število potnikov med Bangalorejem in Mysorejem. Če potujete v Mysore v nedeljo popoldan, prispejte zgodaj, saj je navadno dolga vrsta za nakup vstopnic.
Kot pri vseh indijskih železniških potovanjih bodite potrpežljivi tudi pri zamudah. Vlaki so običajno pravočasno (v 20 minutah po predvidenem času), včasih pa lahko zamujajo. Digitalna tabla za odhod na postaji vam bo povedala, na kateri peronu je vaš vlak in koliko časa zapusti.
Za vprašanja o prihodu / odhodu vlaka in PNR statusu na različnih železniških postajah v Bengaluruju pokličite 139.
Potovanje iz Mumbaj do Bangalorea z vlakom traja dolgo (približno 24 ur). Avtobusi so razmeroma hitrejši in trajajo od 18 do 20 ur, če v Mumbaiju in Puni na poti ni zastojev. Učinkovit čas potovanja z vlakom ali avtobusom je dolg. Letalsko potovanje je priporočljivo za potovanje med Mumbajem in Bangalorejem, ki traja približno 90 minut. Nizkocenovne letalske družbe zaračunavajo enako ceno kot vlak za klimatizacijo ali avtobus Volvo. Vendar pa je potovanje z vlakom v razredu spalnic iz Mumbaija v Bangalore varčno in si lahko ogledate nekaj bujnih zimzelenih gozdov in dolin rek po zahodni Indiji. Potovanje v Delhi lahko traja 39 ur (ali več) in let vozovnica samo dvakrat večja od količine počasnega vlaka.
Za Tuja turistična kvota, pojdite do velike stavbe na levi, preden vstopite na železniško postajo skozi glavni dostop. To je stavba "Rezervirane vstopnice" (četudi na stranskih vratih piše "Rezervacijski center"). V prvem nadstropju je glavni nadzornik rezervacij. Uradnik bo rezerviral vozovnico za vas (po predložitvi tujega potnega lista). Lahko vas napotijo na prvi pult v glavni stavbi. Tam pa morate stati v čakalni vrsti, tukaj pa lahko sedite v pisarni in počakate, da vam rezervirajo vozovnico.
Z avtobusom
Če imate težave z urejanjem letalske ali železniške vozovnice do / od naslednjega cilja ali imate raje malo več avanture, se lahko odpravite z avtobusom. Državni in zasebni avtobusi vozijo do / iz večjih mest, kot so Mumbaj, Goa, Chennai, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Maduraj, Tirupati, Hyderabaditd. Avtobusi so lahko redni prevoz s samo sedeži in brez klimatske naprave, običajni luksuzni avtobus, avtobus Volvo A / C ali spalni avtobus za nočna potovanja. Avtobusi so prav tako primerni za prihod iz številnih mest v Karnataki brez velikega števila vlakov zaradi povečanega prometa - večina mest v Karnataki ima v bistvu zagotovo prevoz do glavnega mesta države.
- 7 Avtobusna postaja Kempegowda (Avtobusna postaja Majestic, Kannada: ಕೆಂಪೇಗೌಡ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ), Gandhi Nagar, mestni avtobus Rd (Glavno avtobusno postajališče je ob avtobusni postaji Kempegowda in podzemni železnici Kempegowda / Majestic). Eno največjih avtobusnih postajališč v mestu, ta avtobusna postaja skrbi za glavne avtobuse na Karnataki (razen ob avtobusih Mysore Road), Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra in Goa. je tudi največje presečišče za Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC), ki vzdržuje avtobusne prevoze znotraj Bangaloreja. Avtobusno postajališče je nasproti mestne železniške postaje.
- 8 MCTC (Stojalo za satelitski avtobus Mysore), Bapuji Nagar, Mysore Road (Veličastno: KSRTC Shuttle, BMTC 220 do 235; Tržnica: 220 do 235 serij; Shivajinagar: 222E, 226N, 121B; Jayanagar: 60A do L; Ješvantapur: K-2; Križ Jalahalli: 248). Ena izmed pomembnih avtobusnih postaj v Bangaloreju, namenjena razbremenitvi avtobusne postaje Majestic, je namenjena vsem običajnim in luksuznim storitvam do Mysoreja, pa tudi meddržavnim navadnim in luksuznim storitvam do Kerale prek Mysoreja, ki jih upravljajo države Karnataka in države Kerala. . Običajne in luksuzne uporabe, vezane na Ooty, Coimbatore prek Mysore / Kollegal prav tako začenjajo s tega kraja. Vse običajne storitve, ki jih izvaja Tamil Nadu State Road Transport Corporation do Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Salem, Vriddachalam, Kanchipuram, Coimbatore in Trichy, uporabljajo to avtobusno postajo za ukinitev avtobusnih storitev.
- 9 Šantinagar (Stojalo za avtobuse Double Road), KH Cesta (Od Majestic: 171, vsi avtobusi od 340 do 372; Iz Shivajinagarja: 13, 13A do 13K, 27,27E, 29,210F, G, GA, Q, K6). Eno najpomembnejših avtobusnih postajališč v Bangaloreju, katerega namen je razbremeniti avtobusno postajališče Majestic, je namenjeno vsem luksuznim storitvam do Tamilnaduja, ki jih upravlja KSRTC, pa tudi SETC države Tamilnadu. Skozi ta terminal vozijo nekateri avtobusi države Kerala State Transport Corporation, ki vozijo preko Salema do Kerale.
Obstaja tudi veliko neuradnih postajališč, do katerih bodo avtobusi vozili na zahtevo (tudi na deluxe avtobusih z rezerviranimi sedeži lahko kondukterja prosite, naj se ustavi na takšnem postajališču, dokler je v Bangaloreju / istem mestu kot postajališče na vaši vozovnici ) ali celo dovolite potnikom rezervirati vozovnice pri. Ti kraji nimajo nobene železniške infrastrukture, so pa ponavadi v bližini znamenitosti, na glavnih ulicah / krogih / trgih, seveda pa jih lahko opazijo številni avtobusi, gneče okoli. Še posebej koristen postanek je stičišče Yeswanthpur, ki je ob istoimenski železniški postaji na dolge razdalje in podzemni postaji Yeswanthpur.
Razstavne table avtobusov za medkrajevne avtobuse prikazujejo cilj v lokalnem jeziku Kannada. Če ne govorite kannado, boste verjetno potrebovali pomoč, da boste prišli na pravi avtobus. Vendar so novejši avtobusi Volvo opremljeni z elektronskimi prikazovalniki, ki drug za drugim prikazujejo cilj v kannadi in angleščini. Avtobusi drugih proizvajalcev se postopoma naknadno vgrajujejo v te elektronske prikazovalnike; to bi moralo potovanje z avtobusom narediti veliko preprostejše, če ne poznate lokalnega jezika. Še vedno pa je veliko starejših avtobusov Ashok Leyland in celo nekaj zelo starih avtobusov Tata, ki vozijo po cestah, zato je najbolje, da greste po urniku ali vprašate kondukterja, kam vozi avtobus (običajno tako, da vprašate ime cilja, kot je vprašanje , na primer "Mysore?", in zaslišanje, če se dirigent odzove z istim ali drugim imenom).

Z avtom
Vožnja v Indiji je lahko zelo stresna. Disciplina voznega pasu praktično ne obstaja, pretirano hupanje, velika gostota vozil, neupoštevanje prometne zakonodaje v kombinaciji s tankimi mejami britev so pogosti. Ena vožnja s taksijem vas bo najverjetneje prepričala, da se sami ne splačate tvegati, zato, če želite priti z avtomobilom, boste verjetno želeli najeti avto in voznika. Stroški se sicer razlikujejo, vendar večina kombinacij avtomobilov in voznikov stane 1400–1700 JPY / dan. Cena najetih zasebnih taksijev je običajno večkratnik 4 ure / 40 km (25 milj), cene vozovnic za neklimatiziran majhen avto pa znašajo približno 450 JPY. Glede na to, od kod prihajate, se boste morda lahko pogajali o nižji vozovnici, če potovanje ni daleč, in morda bo višja cena, če potujete daleč in mora voznik potovati nazaj ob svojem času. Vnaprejšnja približna predstava o vozovnici ali razdalji in vztrajna pogajalska znanja lahko privedejo do znatnih prihrankov. Čeprav stane več, razmislite o zahtevi klimatiziranega avtomobila, če niste vajeni vročine, še posebej poleti. Klimatiziran avtomobil bo pomagal filtrirati tudi onesnaženost zraka, ki je precejšnja, zlasti na obremenjenih voziščih. Če želite nekaj še bolj posebnega, na primer modni avtomobil ali terenec, bodite pripravljeni doplačati.

Z metrojem
The Bangalore Metro (Namma Metro) je učinkovita čezmejna železniška storitev. Od marca 2020 se na avtocestni postaji Kempegowda Majestic Terminal (imenovani Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station Majestic) križata dve liniji, s skupno 41 postanki. Vstopnice lahko kupite na kateri koli postaji. Cene vozovnic so odvisne od števila postaj za prevoz. Najnižja cena vozovnice je 10 JPY, najvišja pa 60 JPY. Kartice, ki stanejo 50 JPY, vas bodo rešile čakalnih vrst in jih boste lahko napolnili prek spleta (priporočljivo za polnjenje v okencih). Kartice ponujajo 5% popust na običajno vozovnico. Za upokojence, ženske itd. Ni nobene druge koncesije. Vstopnice je treba kupiti za otroke višje od 3 čevljev.
Če dobite pametni žeton (enojna vozovnica), ne pozabite, da ga je treba vrniti na postaji, na kateri izstopite, zato ga pred odhodom fotografirajte, če želite. Vsi vlaki so vlaki s 6 vagoni. To zmanjšuje hitenje vlakov.
Obstoječe poti so:
- Vzhod-zahod / vijolična črta: Baiyappanhalli (Stara cesta Madras) -> Cesta Swami Vivekananda -> Indiranagar -> Halasuru -> Trinity Circle -> MGRoad -> Cubbon Park -> Vidhana Soudha -> osrednja šola postaje Sir M Vishweshwaraya -> Avtobusna postaja Kempegowda (vozlišče za izmenjavo) -> Mestna železniška postaja -> Magadijska cesta -> Hosahalli -> Vijayanagar -> Attiguppe -> Deepanjalinagar -> Nayandahalli (Mysore Road) -
- Sever-jug / zelena črta: Nagasandra (cesta Tumkur) -> Dasarahalli -> Jalahalli -> industrija Peenya -> Peenya -> Goraguntepalya -> železniška postaja Yeshvantapur (vhod PF-6) -> tovarna sandalovih mil -> Mahalakshmi- -> Rajajinagar -> cesta Kuvempu -> Srirampura -> cesta Mantri Sampige -> avtobusna postaja Kempegowda (postaja izmenjave) -> Chikpet -> KRMarket -> nacionalna šola -> Lalbagh -> South End Circle -> Jayanagar -> RVRoad -> Banashankari -> JPNagar -> Yelechanahalli
Z avtobusom
Avtobusi so poceni in običajno pogosti (čeprav dragi v primerjavi z drugimi državami). Toda potovanje z njimi je lahko zelo težko, če sistema ne poznate dobro. Zdaj ima večina avtobusov digitalne oznake, ki se izmenjujejo med lokalnim jezikom kannada in angleščino, vendar nekateri avtobusi še vedno prikazujejo stare natisnjene znake s samo številko poti v angleščini, podatki o cilju in poti pa so napisani v kanadi. Seveda lahko tudi z digitalno signalizacijo avtobusi dolgo spremenijo prikazan jezik, kar pomeni, da je avtobus enostavno zamuditi. To pomeni, da boste morali vedeti, katero številko poti potrebujete preden začnete, kar lahko najdete v Spletna stran BMTC, BMTCRoutes.in spletna stran, Desiroutes, vnesite začetno in končno točko na Google Zemljevide ali vprašajte domačine.
Niso vsa avtobusna postajališča jasno označena, zato je na prvem potovanju lahko nekoliko zapleteno. Skupine ljudi, ki stojijo naokoli, so lahko dober pokazatelj, da se bo avtobus tam ustavil. Prav tako je dobro vprašati voznika ali sprevodnika, ali se ustavijo na postajališču, do katerega želite iti (500 in 500Q ne bosta šli na ista postajališča). Samo vprašajte ime v tonu vprašanja in dobili boste odgovor. Kondukterji (en je na vsakem avtobusu in poberejo vozovnice in izdajo vozovnice - vedno so v uniformi) so tudi koristni, če vam povedo, kje / kdaj je vaš postanek, če vprašate, kot tudi sopotniki, če obiščejo pot. Objavljeni zemljevidi poti avtobusnega sistema so redki, čeprav se prodajajo na glavnih avtobusnih postajah (avtobusno postajališče Kempegowda in Shivajinagar). BMTC (brezplačno) ☏ 1-800-425-1663.
Pazite: nekateri vozniki avtobusov postavijo znak za pot na spodnjo desno stran vetrobranskega stekla, namesto da bi ga postavili na nosilec znaka na vrhu vetrobranskega stekla.
Avtobusi s črnimi razstavnimi tablami vozijo po mestu. Avtobusi z rdečimi tablami vozijo na dolge razdalje in vozijo v sosednja predmestja. Navadni mestni avtobusi so bele in modre ali zelene barve. Novejši mestni avtobusi so ponavadi modre barve in imajo LED prikazovalne table. Obstajajo modri avtobusi Volvo, imenovani Vajra, ki delujejo predvsem na progah IT sektorja, kot so Elektronsko mesto , ITPL in zunanjo obvoznico ter do turističnih krajev, kot so Narodni park Bannerghatta in vikend storitve za Wonderla. Ponujajo udobno klimatizirano vožnjo po višjih cenah (1 1/2 do 2-krat več kot običajna vožnja z avtobusom) kot običajni avtobusi (ki niso klimatizirani). Za razliko od večine drugih avtobusov imajo Vajras na sprednji in bočni strani osvetljene LED prikazovalne table, ki v angleščini in kannadi prikazujejo informacije o cilju in poti.
Deluje tudi BMTC Vayu Vajra storitve mednarodnega letališča Bangalore z različnih destinacij po mestu. KIAS-9 je najpogostejša od poti, ki povezuje letališče s postajališčem Majestic Bus.
V mestnih avtobusih je gneča med prometnimi konicami, ki so vsaj med 7. in 10. uro in med 19. in 20. uro (M-Sa), podnevi pa lahko potujete z malo težav. Avtobusne storitve se običajno začnejo ob 5. ali 6. uri in so redkejše od 9.30 do 20. ure in redke po 22.30. Upoštevajte tudi, da je promet v Bangaloreju razvpit. Potovanje po mestu lahko traja do 4 ure, zlasti v času prometnih konic. Avtobusnih pasov ni, zato se avtobusi, kabine in avtomobili soočajo z enakimi zastoji!
Večji mestni avtobusi imajo sedeže, namenjene ženskam spredaj, med sprednjima in srednjima vratoma. Prvi sedež blizu vhodnih vrat je rezerviran za starejše gospe, medtem ko je prvi sedež za srednjimi vrati za gibalno ovirane, sedež, obrnjen proti vratom, pa za starejše občanke. Na splošno lahko vstopite in izstopite iz avtobusa z obeh vrat.
Vedno je bolje kupiti dnevno vozovnico, če nameravate cel dan potovati z avtobusom. Dnevna vozovnica od januarja 2018 stane 70 JPY in je zelo priročna, če morate v enem dnevu potovati z več avtobusi. Dnevne vozovnice izda dežurni vodnik avtobusa ali na avtobusni postaji. S to vozovnico lahko ves dan, poljubno številokrat potujete s katerim koli avtobusom (razen z Vajro). Starejši občani dobijo 25-odstotno koncesijo v vseh avtobusih ob predložitvi veljavne osebne izkaznice (npr. Potnega lista). Otroci, stari od 4 do 12 let, dobijo 50-odstotno koncesijo. Otroci do 4. leta starosti brezplačno.
Obstajajo tri glavne avtobusne postaje:
- 10 Stojalo za avtobuse Kempegowda (Stojalo za avtobuse Majestic) (Blizu Gandhi Nagar, nasproti železniške postaje Bengaluru City). Precej lepo organizirano in je lahko plovno. V bližini perona številka 1 na ‘Majestic’ je povpraševalni urad, kjer lahko za želeni cilj povprašate številko avtobusa in peron. Na ogled je velik zemljevid, s pomočjo katerega lahko poiščete številko avtobusa, ki ga morate vzeti, če poznate območje, kamor se odpravljate. Seveda lahko vedno vprašate kondukterja ali druge potnike. Na platformah se prodajajo tudi zemljevidi poti. Ima postaje za obe liniji podzemne železnice.
- 11 Mestna tržnica. Približno 2,5 km (1,6 mi) stran od Majestica. Prišleke bi lahko ustrašil, saj je zelo neorganiziran. To je veliko umazano parkirišče pod avtocesto in tam ni veliko reda, kjer parkirajo avtobusi.
- 12 Shivajinagar. Na severu. Lepo je organizirana in obstaja okno za poizvedbe o avtobusih. Če menjavate avtobuse, boste morda morali sestopiti na ulico in stopiti na avtobusno postajališče, da boste ujeli svojega naslednjega avtobusa. Tudi tukaj lahko najdete razstavljen velik zemljevid, po katerem lahko poiščete številko avtobusa, ki ga morate vzeti, če poznate območje, kamor se odpravljate. Na platformah se prodajajo tudi zemljevidi poti.
S teh treh avtobusnih postajališč so na voljo avtobusi do vseh večjih krajev mesta. Zaradi tekočega projekta podzemne železnice in prizadevanj za razbremenitev mesta je prišlo do veliko dogodkov. BMTC ves čas dodaja več avtobusnih postaj. Bolje, da na njihovi spletni strani preverite najnovejše razmere.
Z avto-rikšo
 | Opomba: Avtohike in taksiji v Bangaloreju imajo merjen sistem vozovnic. Napovedi niso niti pričakovane niti potrebne, če si izkoristite avtorske avtomobile ali storitve taksija. |
Auto-rikše (imenovane tudi "samodejno") so povsod in kadar koli v dnevu. So zeleno-rumene ali črno-rumene trikolesne oblike. So hitra (a nevarna) pot po mestu - v gostem prometu so hitrejši od taksija ali avtobusa.
Auto-rikše naj bi zaračunavale vozovnice po odčitku števca, ki je enak ₹ 13 na kilometer, razdalja najmanj 25 for za prvih 1,8 km (1,1 milje) ali manj in 50% doplačilo po 22.00 (imenovano "ena in pol"). Težka prtljaga stane približno 10–20 JPY. Na splošno ponavadi zaračunavajo priložnostno, odvisno od oddaljenosti cilja, možnosti, da iz omenjenega kraja pripeljejo še eno stranko, in njihovega razpoloženja. Preprosto zavrnite vkrcanje na avto, če je števec pokvarjen ali ga voznik noče uporabiti. Če izgovorite "meter prosim", je to običajno trik.
Turisti morajo biti previdni, ko se ponoči ali ob močnem deževju približujejo avtorikšam. Verjetno bodo zaračunali pretirane cene (nekateri vozniki lahko zahtevajo 100% doplačilo po 22.00 ali 23.00), vendar morate v takem primeru zavrniti vkrcanje. Lokalna prometna policija bi lahko v takšnih okoliščinah uporabila avtorikše. Če ste obiskovalec in ne poznate poti do cilja, je dobro, da se pred vkrcanjem dogovorite in določite ceno, da se izognete dolgim, zapletenim potim, ki jih uporablja voznik - ali pot preverite s snemanjem GPS sledi na mobilni telefon.
Avtomobilski vozniki običajno zaračunajo 1,5 cene za čas od 21.00 do 6.00. Če na primer števec šteje 100 ₹, morate plačati 150 ₹. V tem času je težko ujeti avtomobile po običajni ceni.
Upoštevati je treba tudi to, da med potovanjem v avtu bodite odločni, vendar v prepiru ne glasni. Nekateri manj ugledni vozniki se lahko na sredini povežejo s prijatelji in tako povzročijo težave. Ne pozabite, da čeprav so Bangalorejci znani po svojem vljudnem in blagem vedenju, so avtomobilski vozniki običajno izjema. Nekateri ne bodo pomislili, da bi vas poskušali raztrgati. Če ste v dvomih, se obrnite na lokalno ali hotelsko turistično mizo.
Če se voznik rikše ponudi, da vas pokaže / odpelje do odličnih krajev za nakupovanje, odločno zavrnite. Pogosta taktika je, da vas odpeljejo do lokalnih trgovin, kjer boste pod pritiskom, da kupujete indijske izdelke, ki jih verjetno ne želite. Spoznajte svoj cilj in vztrajajte na njem.
Vozniki rikše morajo po zakonu svoje osebne dokumente prikazati na armaturni plošči ali na hrbtni strani sedežev. Zavrnite se v rikšo, ki je ne prikazuje.
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.
S 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.
S kolesom
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 Bounce, VOGO in 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.
Glej
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 in 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.
Nakupovalna središča
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 Življenjski slog (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.
Trgi
The traditional markets have mom-and-pop stores that sell everything from fruits, vegetables, groceries to electronics, music, and mobile phones.

Najboljši način za iskanje zaposlitve v Bangaloreju je na sejmih zaposlitev, zaposlitvenih portalih, prijavah neposredno v podjetja, ki jih zanimajo, in prek lovcev na glave.
Uredba o zaposlovanju neindijskih državljanov Indijski predpisi lahko zahtevajo, da vsak tujec, ki je zaposlen v Indiji, zasluži vsaj 25.000 ameriških dolarjev na leto. To je izvzeto za (a) etnične kuharje, (b) učitelje jezikov (razen učiteljev angleškega jezika) / prevajalce in (c) osebje, ki dela za veleposlaništvo / visoke komisije. Preverite ponudbo odškodnine, da boste izpolnili to zahtevo in bili upravičeni do zaposlitvenega vizuma. Nekateri tuji državljani so zaposleni s plačami, nižjimi od te, vendar običajno v nevladnem sektorju. |
Mesto se imenuje Silicijeva dolina v Indiji in ponuja številne možnosti za zaposlitev mladim z različnih koncev Indije.
Neindijci
Z malo trdega dela in vztrajnosti je iskanje službe v Bangaloreju povsem mogoče. Večina razpoložljivih delovnih mest je na področju IT, vendar ne nujno na osnovi IT. Več izseljencev med drugim opravlja trženje, zagotavljanje kakovosti, poučevanje naglasov in prevajanje. Vsa delovna mesta v Indiji zahtevajo zaposlitveni vizum, ki ga je treba pridobiti v tujini in sponzorirati najemniško podjetje v Indiji. Na splošno je plača izseljencev v primerjavi z lokalno indijsko plačo zelo visoka. Najboljši vir za delovna mesta je skupnost izseljencev. Vprašajte se, a dobro mesto za srečanje z izseljenci so nedeljske malice v hotelih s 5 zvezdicami ali v številnih kavarnah na območju MG Road in okoli njega.

Bangalore ima široko paleto možnosti prehrane. Tujci bodo želeli iskati čistočo pri izbiri kraja za prehranjevanje. Prav tako ne pričakujte, da je zunanjost preveč modna, pri izbiri kraja za prehranjevanje bodite pozorni na čistočo notranjosti in strežnikov! Možnosti prehranjevanja vključujejo vrhunske restavracije do verig do templjev do mamic in pop trgovin ter seveda prodajalce ulic! Restavracije običajno označijo, če strežejo samo vegetarijansko (zelenjavno ali čisto zelenjavno) ali tako zelenjavno kot nevegansko kulinariko. Če že dolgo niste v Indiji, je varneje vzeti ustekleničeno vodo. Sokovi in druge pijače pa so običajno v redu.
Obstaja tudi na stotine mladih stojnic za kokos in sladkorni trs! Lepo osvežilno ko greš po mestu! Oba sta dobra za ohlajanje in energijo. Kokosov oreh stane 25–30 ₹ (nekateri sestoji imajo lahko manjše kokosove orehe za ₹ 10-15). Sok sladkornega trsa znaša ₹ 10-15 na skodelico. Bangalore je daleč od morja, zato se lahko kakovost morskih sadežev razlikuje. Nekatera višja in priljubljena mesta z morsko hrano to dobro obvladujejo, toda tuji popotniki bodo morda želeli stopiti nekoliko previdno.
Tujci bi morda želeli piti samo ustekleničeno vodo in jesti le chutneyje, ki so narejeni iz ustekleničene ali filtrirane vode. Prav tako je v restavracijah Karnataka na jedilniku prepovedano goveje meso.
Cesta 80 m (24 m) je Eat Street Koramangala. Pizza Hut, Domino's, KFC, Taco Bell, Au Bon Pain najdete tukaj. Obstajajo tudi številne verige, ki strežejo lokalne indijske jedi. Chandni Chowk je odlična možnost, če želite doživetje podeželskega pandžabskega dabe.
Wisdom Cafe, blizu razstavnega prostora AlienWare, je resnično prijeten kraj za prigrizke ali kosilo. Takšna je tudi luknja Hole in the Wall, na zadnji ulici za hotelom Maharaja. Postreže z odlično kavo in angleškim zajtrkom. Tudi Cafe Terra, blizu križišča parka Wipro. V bližini je res priljubljen živilski lokal z imenom Mali dom. Ponuja lepo severnoindijsko hrano po zelo ugodni ceni. Zelo priljubljen je med mladim delovnim prebivalstvom. Sladoledni salon Naturals je hit med množico ljudi; ob vikendih boste morda našli čakalne vrste zunaj.
Proračun
Bangalore ima na stotine lokalov s hitro prehrano, ki strežejo južnoindijsko vegetarijansko hrano.

Dosas, idlis, vada, skuta, zelenjavni Pulao, riž s sambarjem, limonin riž so običajno standardna ponudba. Kakovost se zelo razlikuje, saj je večina namenjena delovnim ljudem.

- 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. If coming with family, especially newly married, avoid the Majestic area.

Ostani varen
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.

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.

Mobile phone coverage in the city is excellent. There are many service providers (Airtel, BSNL, Zanašanje 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 Povežite se 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.

Bangalore is a clean city (compared to other major Indian cities such as Mumbaj in 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.

Menjalnica
Kioskov / okencev za menjavo denarja ne boste našli v vseh delih Bangaloreja, saj Bangalore za večino turistov ni primarna destinacija niti ni vstopna točka za večino turistov, ki vstopajo v regijo. Vendar večina bank ponuja menjavo valut v vseh svojih poslovalnicah, prav tako nekatere turistične agencije. Menjalni tečaji se lahko nekoliko razlikujejo, zato je priporočljivo nakupovati. Običajno ponujajo potovalne agencije boljši tečaj kot banke. Nekatere "zunanje uradne" agencije je mogoče najti po trgovskem območju M.G. Cesta. Ti bodo ponudili ugodno ceno, ne da bi zahtevali kopijo potnega lista. Cena bi se lahko pogajala. Vedno preverite bankovce, ko opravite zamenjavo.
