Getting Around

Getting to & from the Airport to Conference Hotels

Getting to and from Bengaluru International Airport is relatively inexpensive. You have a choice of several modes of transportation.

TAXI

The most convenient transportation from the Airport to the city is by taxi. If you wish to hire a cab to reach the airport or other destinations, three service providers stand ready, with a smart fleet. Karnataka Taxi, Mega Cabs, and Meru Cabs, are the official taxi operators at Bengaluru International Airport. They provide you convenient, safe, easily accessible, and cost-effective travel in a standard, air-conditioned sedan. Airport taxi service can be availed at the airport for travel to Bengaluru city and vice versa.

BUSES

Bengaluru International Airport is well-served by the city's public transport agency – the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC).The BMTC came into existence in 1997, and is today the only bus corporation in Bangalore to ferry over 4 million commuters. Its fleet of over 5,593 buses covers a radius of 36 kilometres from the city centre, providing public transport to the city and its suburbs. It has integrated Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and Passenger Information System (PIS) in its daily operations to better manage its fleet and provide quality service to customers.

For its airport shuttle service, the BMTC has a fleet of comfortable, air-conditioned Volvo buses – 'VayuVajra' – which connect the airport and the city through 11 routes. These buses make almost 251 trips each day, connecting the airport and city at a frequency of 30 minutes, and at affordable prices. Located close to the Terminal Building, VayuVajra is a 24/7 service available for both arrival and departure passengers. If you are arriving at Benagluru International Airport, check the dynamic display of BMTC schedules, routes, and other information, at the Arrival Hall of the passenger Terminal Building.

Distances

From Majestic Bus Station / City Railway Station: 10 Kms (Both are adjacent to each other)
From Bangalore International Airport: 45 Kms
From Indiranagar: 17 Kms
From Vijaynagar: 4 Kms
From Malleswaram : 10 Kms
From Brigade Rd / M.G. Rd / Residency Rd: 14 Kms

Getting to NLSIU by Bus

One of the city's largest bus stands is located right opposite the City Railway Station. It is called the "Majestic" Bus Stand.

Buses to Nagarbhavi are:
Service: 235, 235B, 235C, 235F and 43 (Pushpak) [From PLATFORM 28]
Service: Volvo BUS 238T [From PLATFORM 1]
Buses to Vijayanagar are:
Service: 61, 61E, 61G, 195 [From Platform 21]

If one does not get a bus to Nagarbhavi, it is also convenient to catch a bus to VIJAYNAGAR and an autorickshaw from there to NLSIU (Though one should expect to pay an extra sum, over and above the meter). The Bus Service to Vijaynagar is VERY REGULAR and also crowded.


Getting to NLSIU by Taxi

Taxis are a fairly comfortable way to travel in Bangalore, albeit a little expensive. If you are coming to NLSIU directly from the station or from the Airport, try to come by a pre-paid cab. Otherwise, things can get very expensive.

If you are coming to NLSIU from some place where you are staying, it would be best for you to ring up a City / Radio Taxi Service and ask for a Taxi. These are by far the most reasonable and professional among the Taxi Services. However, the cabs do have a tendency to "not come at all" some times. So book well in advance and keep reconfirming.

Meru Cabs: 44224422
Easy Cabs: 43434343
KSTDC Cabs: 49007777

Getting to NLSIU by Autorickshaw

Autos are a fairly convenient means of commuting in Bangalore. However, they do have their drawbacks. Being on the outskirts of Bangalore as it is, Nagarbhavi is not exactly a preferred location for the Autorickshaw Drivers.

If you take an auto to Nagarbhavi, you want to go "to Nagarbhavi circle" Expect the auto driver to ask for 1 1/2 of what appears on the meter. If traveling at night, or with excess baggage, or with more than three people, they may even ask for double. Do not take this as the final say of Auto fares and do try and bargain a bit.

However, as a general principle, if not traveling to a remote locality or late at night, pay ONLY what appears on the meter. That is the correct fare. From Brigade Road / MG Road / Residency Road, expect the meter to read about 60 - 70 Rs.
