Bangalore, kini dikenali secara rasmi sebagai Bengaluru (Kannada: ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು), adalah ibu kota Orang India negeri Karnataka. Pada masa kini, ia adalah bandar kosmopolitan yang besar dengan jumlah penduduk yang ramai. Bangalore adalah pusat utama industri teknologi maklumat (IT) India, dan dikenali di seluruh dunia sebagai "Silicon Valley of India".
Fahami
Setelah disebut "Garden City of India" dan "Paradise Pensioner's", julukan ini tidak berlaku untuk Bangalore moden.
Sejarah
Catatan terawal mengenai sebuah tempat bernama "Bengaluru" terdapat di sebuah kuil abad kesembilan di sebuah kawasan yang sekarang dikenali sebagai "Old Bangalore".
Legenda mengatakan bahawa ketika tuan feodal Kempe Gowda pernah memburu arnab di daerah itu, seekor arnab muncul dan menyerang anjingnya. Ini memberi kesan hebat pada Gowda dan dia menamakan tempat itu gandu bhoomi (tempat pahlawan). Pada tahun 1537, dengan bantuan raja setempat, dia membangun tiga daerah yang dilindungi oleh kubu berdinding di lokasi tersebut.
Selama tiga abad berikutnya, Bangalore ada di bayang-bayang kota jiran, Mysore, dan kawalan bandar bertukar tangan berkali-kali. Tahun 1831 menandakan titik perubahan utama bandar. Mengklaim kesalahan oleh raja Krishna Raja Wodeyar III, Inggeris menguasai Kerajaan Mysore dan, mungkin dipengaruhi oleh iklim kota yang menggembirakan, memindahkan ibu kota pentadbiran ke Bangalore. Sistem telekomunikasi baru diletakkan, sambungan kereta api dibangun, bangunan kerajaan yang baik dibangun, dan taman dan taman terkenal di kota ini didirikan. Setelah merdeka, Bangalore mengekalkan kedudukannya sebagai ibu negara Karnataka dan terus berkembang.
Selama bertahun-tahun, Bangalore dianggap di India sebagai kota paling hijau, liberal dan berpandangan ke hadapan. Sifat-sifat ini telah mendorong Bangalore menjadi barisan hadapan ledakan industri berteknologi tinggi di India, dan kedudukannya sebagai salah satu bandar paling maju di India dan salah satu kawasan bandar yang paling pesat berkembang di dunia.
Mitos popular yang menerangkan nama asli Bengaluru adakah ia berasal dari Benda Kaalu Uru (Bandar Kacang Rebus). Kisah ini diberitahu bahawa nama itu diberikan kepada kota oleh Raja Vira Ballala yang, ketika hilang di kawasan itu, ditawarkan kacang rebus oleh seorang wanita tua.
Iklim
Tidak seperti metropolis utama India yang sangat panas pada bulan-bulan musim panas, Bangalore menikmati iklim yang agak ringan sepanjang tahun.
- Musim panas - Februari hingga Mei (suhu puncak adalah pada bulan April dan Mei)
- Monsun - Jun hingga Oktober (hujan lebat biasanya antara bulan Jun dan Ogos)
- Musim sejuk - November hingga Januari (dengan Januari menjadi bulan paling sejuk)
Suhu musim panas boleh mencapai 36 ° C (97 ° F), dan suhu pagi di musim sejuk berlegar sekitar 12 ° C (54 ° F).
Bagaimanapun, Bangalore mempunyai cuaca yang tidak dapat diramalkan tidak seperti bandar-bandar barat tertentu. Cukup biasa untuk mempunyai hari yang cerah dan cerah diikuti dengan hujan petang yang berakhir dengan malam yang sejuk. Oleh itu, bersiaplah untuk hujan untuk bahagian yang lebih baik dalam tahun ini (terutamanya Mei hingga November).
Bercakap
Menjadi ibu kota Karnataka, bahasa yang dituturkan dan rasmi di Bangalore adalah Kannada. Kebanyakan orang boleh bertutur dan memahami bahasa Inggeris dan Bahasa Hindi. Bahasa India lain seperti Bahasa Malayalam, Bahasa Tamil, Telugu, Orang Bengali dan Bahasa Urdu dituturkan oleh komuniti migran dan minoriti masing-masing. Oleh kerana Bangalore adalah pusat komersial dan budaya, ia memiliki banyak Konkani, Marathi dan Tulu pembesar suara.
Kebanyakan pemandu beca automatik, konduktor bas dan pembantu kedai boleh berbual sekurang-kurangnya dalam bahasa Inggeris asas. Sebilangan daripada mereka akan dapat memahami bahasa Hindi, Tamil dan Telugu. Tanda-tanda biasanya ditulis dalam bahasa Kannada dan Inggeris. Walau bagaimanapun, pengetahuan asas tentang Kannada sangat berguna ketika berinteraksi dengan penduduk tempatan.
Masuk
Dengan kapal terbang
- 1 Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kempegowda (BLR IATA) (Di Devanahalli, 40 km (25 mi) dari pusat perniagaan di Bangalore (Jalan Mahatma Gandhi ("MG")) dan 30 km (19 mi) dari Stesen Kereta Api Kota Bengaluru.), ☏ 91 80 6678-2255, 91 80 6678-2251, bebas tol: 1 800 425 4425, ✉maklum [email protected]. Lapangan terbang kadang-kadang dikenakan sekatan operasi kerana kabut dari 15 November hingga 15 Februari antara jam 3 pagi hingga 8:30 pagi (IST). Kelewatan dan pengalihan penerbangan mungkin berlaku pada beberapa pagi kerana kabut pagi. Lapangan terbang ini antara yang paling sibuk dan moden di India. Lapangan terbang ini mempunyai 10 syarikat penerbangan domestik dan 21 syarikat penerbangan antarabangsa yang menghubungkan bandar ini ke sekitar 50 destinasi.
Lapangan terbang ini mempunyai terminal antarabangsa dan domestik. Mereka mempunyai bangunan yang sama, tetapi berada di sisi yang berbeza - pintu gerbang domestik berada di sebelah barat sementara gerbang antarabangsa yang lebih besar berada di sebelah timur. Terdapat ATM, pertukaran biro, dua unit dari Hari Kopi Kafe dan kafe lain, kedai bebas cukai, restoran, dan hotel sehari di lapangan terbang. Ketika berangkat dari lapangan terbang, pastikan untuk memeriksa sekatan waktu daftar masuk bagasi, dan pastikan untuk membawa cetakan pas masuk anda dengan anda ke lapangan terbang. Untuk penerbangan yang berangkat pada awal pagi (seperti jam 3 pagi), anda mungkin perlu memasukkan beg anda sebanyak 2½ jam lebih awal.
Syarikat penerbangan
Lapangan terbang ini berfungsi sebagai pusat bandar raya bagi hampir semua syarikat penerbangan domestik seperti GoAir, IndiGo, SpiceJet dan Vistara.
Syarikat penerbangan antarabangsa merangkumi Air India, Air France, AirAsia, Syarikat Penerbangan Malaysia, Air Mauritius, British Airways, Dragonair, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa, Syarikat Penerbangan Singapura, SuteraAir, Scoot Tigerair, Syarikat Penerbangan SriLankan, Qatar Airways dan Thai Airways.
Lapangan terbang ke pusat perniagaan pusat
- BasPerbadanan Pengangkutan Metropolitan Bangalore (BMTC) mengendalikan bas dari pelbagai tempat di bandar setiap 15 minit ke Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kempegowda. 156 bas bergerak ke dan dari lapangan terbang. Dari jumlah tersebut, 40 adalah bas Volvo yang berhawa dingin, yang dipanggil Vayu Vajra. Kos untuk setiap perjalanan di bas ini antara ₹ 50 dan ₹ 250 bergantung pada jarak. Ini adalah kaedah termurah dan sangat mudah untuk sampai ke lapangan terbang. Lebih-lebih lagi, perkhidmatan ini tersedia setiap hari, siang dan malam. Semasa menggunakan mod pengangkutan ini, ketahuilah bahawa untuk pergi dari perhentian bas ke destinasi terakhir anda, anda perlu menaiki becak automatik atau untuk mendapatkan lif dari seseorang.
- Teksi
- Teksi lapangan terbang yang diluluskan Terdapat kawasan menahan teksi khusus untuk pelancong yang tiba di lapangan terbang. Teksi di kawasan pegangan ini menggunakan meter pada kadar ₹ 19.5 per kilometer. Anda juga perlu membayar tol sebanyak ₹ 120 semasa memasuki lebuh raya. Harganya sekitar ₹ 600 untuk sampai ke daerah pusat perniagaan Bangalore, dan sekitar ₹ 700 hingga Koramangala. Teksi ini dikendalikan oleh kedua-duanya EasyCabs, Meru Cab atau KSTDC. Walau bagaimanapun, pembaca telah melaporkan bahawa Meru Cabs tidak boleh dipercayai kerana beberapa pemandu teksi diketahui membatalkan tempahan pada saat-saat terakhir jika mereka mendapat tawaran yang lebih baik dari penjemputan di jalan ketika dalam perjalanan ke penjemputan di lapangan terbang. Perjalanan ke mana-mana sahaja di Bangalore tidak boleh lebih dari 800-1000 ₹. Lebih banyak maklumat boleh didapati di laman web lapangan terbang.
- Teksi tidak rasmi Anda mungkin dapat mencari perjalanan ke Bangalore City dengan harga yang jauh lebih murah dengan menaiki a teksi tidak diluluskan oleh lapangan terbang, tetapi hanya sekiranya anda sanggup mengambil risiko. Pemandu teksi yang menaiki teksi seperti itu akan berusaha untuk berunding dengan anda dengan tambang yang jauh lebih rendah daripada yang dikenakan oleh EasyCabs dan Meru Cabs, kadang-kadang hanya ₹ 200-300 untuk perjalanan ke pusat perniagaan. Teksi ini boleh didapati tepat di luar plaza terminal di laluan pejalan kaki tertutup yang menuju ke tempat letak kereta. Sebaik sahaja anda meninggalkan laluan pejalan kaki, beberapa pemandu teksi mungkin menjadi agak agresif, dan mungkin cuba mengambil barang anda tanpa kebenaran anda. Perkara terbaik yang perlu dilakukan ialah mengawasi dan mengawal barang-barang anda. Malah pemandu teksi yang paling agresif akan meninggalkan anda sendirian jika anda berdiri teguh dan menjelaskan bahawa anda tidak menginginkan pertolongannya. Anda hanya perlu menggunakan teksi seperti itu jika anda mempunyai idea tentang kadar teksi yang sesuai, dan bersedia menawar dengan sangat sukar untuk mengelakkan penipuan. Sebaiknya anda bersetuju dengan harga sebelum memasuki teksi; tiada petua yang diperlukan setelah anda tiba di destinasi anda.
- Teksi berasaskan aplikasi Perkhidmatan teksi berasaskan aplikasi telefon pintar beroperasi di Bangalore dan banyak menyediakan perkhidmatan ke lapangan terbang. Ini beroperasi dari tempat pengambilan sedikit lebih jauh di luar bangunan terminal. Anda boleh mengikuti papan tanda untuk mengambil teksi berasaskan aplikasi. Anda perlu memuat turun aplikasi ke telefon pintar anda dan mempunyai sambungan Internet untuk dapat menggunakan perkhidmatan ini. Sekiranya anda tidak mempunyai dan kad SIM India atau data perayauan yang murah, anda mungkin lebih baik menggunakan salah satu perkhidmatan teksi yang lain, kerana WiFi Lapangan Terbang boleh dibebankan pada waktu puncak.
- Limosin dan kereta memandu sendiri Hertz dan Akbar Travels menyediakan kemudahan sewa limusin dan kereta pra-bayar melalui kaunter di bangunan terminal lapangan terbang. Kos ini melebihi ₹ 1,200 untuk perjalanan ke pusat perniagaan. Secara amnya terdapat beberapa rangkaian kereta pandu sendiri: jajaran kompak (Suzuki Swift), julat pertengahan (Ford Fiesta), julat standard (Toyota Corolla), kenderaan pelbagai utiliti (Toyota Innova) dan kenderaan utiliti sukan (Ford Ikhtiar). Kereta diberikan kepada penyewa dengan tangki bahan bakar penuh, dan harus dikembalikan dengan tangki bahan bakar penuh. Kemudahan menjemput dan menurunkan yang fleksibel di bandar dan di lapangan terbang ditawarkan. Penyewa boleh mengambil kereta mereka di lapangan terbang dan menurunkannya di mana sahaja di bandar atau di Chennai atau Hyderabad. Begitu juga, kereta boleh diambil di mana-mana bandar ini dan diturunkan di lapangan terbang. Syarat dikenakan - misalnya, penyewa mestilah berumur lebih dari 21 tahun dan memiliki lesen memandu yang sah di India. Mungkin perlu menyelesaikan banyak kertas kerja dan, bergantung pada syarikat dan jenis kereta yang akan disewa, mungkin diperlukan deposit yang besar. Sila periksa terlebih dahulu sebelum membuat rancangan.
- Jemputan hotel Anda boleh mengatur dengan hotel anda agar pemandu menjemput anda di lapangan terbang. Beberapa hotel, terutama yang mewah, menyediakan perkhidmatan ini secara percuma jika anda tinggal bersamanya, walaupun ada yang mungkin mengenakan bayaran kepada anda sekitar ₹ 2,500 (jauh lebih tinggi daripada menaiki teksi). Ini mungkin merupakan pilihan yang baik jika ini adalah kali pertama anda ke Bangalore. Pemandu akan menunggu di kawasan ketibaan lapangan terbang dengan tanda yang tertera nama anda.
- Helikopter Sekiranya anda tergesa-gesa dan mempunyai banyak wang, perkhidmatan helikopter ditawarkan oleh Birdie dan Penerbangan Deccan. Terdapat lapan helipad di seluruh Bangalore. Perjalanan dari lapangan terbang antarabangsa membuat anda kembali sekitar ₹ 5,000.

Perhentian penting kerana berdekatan dengan syarikat IT dan jalan lingkar hanya melalui stesen dan dihubungkan dengan baik dengan bas ke bahagian-bahagian utama. Ia juga merupakan perhentian pertama bagi kebanyakan kereta api yang meninggalkan Yeshvantapur menuju Jolarpettai.
- 6 Kengeri (KGI), Bandar Satelit Kengeri, Kengeri (5 minit berjalan kaki dari Kengeri TTMC di Mysore Road). Perhentian penting kerana jarak kawasan kediaman yang berdekatan. Ini adalah perhentian utama untuk semua kereta api yang datang dari sebelah Mysore. Kengeri Bus stand di jalan Mysore berjarak 5 minit berjalan kaki dari stesen Keretapi, mempunyai akses ke perkhidmatan Ring Road utama sebanyak 401K (Yelahanka via Vijayanagar), 401M (Yeshvantapur via Ring Road), 502F (Peenya), 375 (Banashankari via Uttarahalli), 378 (Bandar Elektronik melalui Uttarahalli) dan 222A / 226N menuju Majestic dan Market.

Pemesanan boleh dilakukan di stesen keretapi atau di kaunter tempahan Keretapi India di kawasan komersial dan kediaman utama. Tempahan juga boleh dilakukan dalam talian. Sekiranya anda membuat tempahan di Kota Bengaluru dan hendak ke Mysore, terdapat kaunter yang berasingan untuk pelancong ke Mysore. Ini untuk memenuhi sebilangan besar pelancong antara Bangalore dan Mysore. Sekiranya melancong ke Mysore pada petang Ahad, tiba lebih awal kerana biasanya ada barisan panjang untuk membeli tiket.
Seperti semua perjalanan kereta api India, bersabarlah untuk kelewatan. Keretapi biasanya tepat pada waktunya (dalam 20 minit dari waktu yang dijadualkan), tetapi kadangkala terlambat. Papan berlepas digital di stesen akan memberitahu anda platform mana kereta anda berada dan jam berlepas.
Untuk pertanyaan mengenai ketibaan / keberangkatan kereta api dan status PNR di pelbagai stesen keretapi di Bengaluru, hubungi 139.
Perjalanan dari Mumbai ke Bangalore dengan kereta api memerlukan masa yang lama (24 jam atau lebih). Bas lebih pantas dan mengambil masa 18-20 jam, dengan syarat tidak ada kesesakan lalu lintas di Mumbai dan Pune dalam perjalanan. Masa perjalanan yang berkesan dengan kereta api atau bas adalah lama. Perjalanan udara disyorkan untuk melakukan perjalanan antara Mumbai dan Bangalore, yang durasinya sekitar 90 min. Syarikat penerbangan tambang rendah mengenakan tambang yang sama dengan kereta api A / C atau bas Volvo. Walau bagaimanapun, perjalanan kereta api kelas tidur (bukan udara) dari Mumbai ke Bangalore adalah menjimatkan dan anda dapat melihat beberapa hutan malar hijau dan lembah sungai di seberang India Barat. Perjalanan ke Delhi boleh mengambil masa 39 jam (atau lebih) dan penerbangan tiket hanya dua kali ganda daripada jumlah kereta api perlahan.
Untuk Kuota Pelancong Asing, pergi ke bangunan besar di sebelah kiri, sebelum memasuki stesen kereta api melalui akses utama. Ini adalah bangunan "Tiket Tidak Terpesan" (walaupun di pintu sebelah tertera "Pusat Pemesanan"). Di tingkat satu, ada Ketua Penyelia Tempahan. Pegawai akan menempah tiket untuk anda (setelah menunjukkan pasport warga asing). Mereka mungkin merujuk anda ke kaunter pertama di bangunan utama. Tetapi di sana anda mesti berdiri dalam barisan, sementara di sini anda boleh duduk di pejabat dan menunggu mereka menempah tiket untuk anda.
Dengan bas
Sekiranya anda sukar mengatur tiket kapal terbang atau keretapi ke / dari destinasi anda yang seterusnya, atau anda lebih suka pengembaraan lebih sedikit, anda boleh pergi dengan menaiki bas. Bas kerajaan dan swasta menjalankan perkhidmatan ke / dari bandar-bandar besar seperti Mumbai, Goa, Chennai, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Madurai, Tirupati, HyderabadBas boleh menjadi perkhidmatan biasa dengan hanya tempat duduk dan tanpa A / C, bas mewah biasa, bas Volvo A / C atau bas tidur untuk perjalanan malam. Bas juga baik untuk datang dari banyak bandar di Karnataka tanpa bilangan kereta api yang banyak kerana peningkatan perkhidmatan - kebanyakan bandar di Karnataka pada dasarnya dijamin mempunyai perkhidmatan ke ibu negara.
- 7 Stesen Bas Kempegowda (Stesen Bas Majestic, Kannada: ಕೆಂಪೇಗೌಡ ಬಸ್ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ), Gandhi Nagar, Bas Bandar Rd (Tempat letak bas utama terletak di sebelah Stesen Bas Kempegowda dan Metro Green / Purple Kempegowda / Majestic). Salah satu tempat letak bas terbesar di bandar, tempat letak bas ini memenuhi bas utama di Karnataka (Kecuali bas sebelah Mysore Road), Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra & Goa. ia juga merupakan titik persilangan terbesar untuk Perbadanan Pengangkutan Metropolitan Bengaluru (BMTC), yang mengekalkan perkhidmatan bas di Bangalore. Tempat letak bas terletak di seberang stesen Keretapi Bandar.
- 8 MCTC (Pangkalan Bas Satelit Jalan Mysore), Bapuji Nagar, Jalan Mysore (Majestic: Shuttle KSRTC, BMTC 220 hingga 235; Pasar: 220 hingga 235 siri; Shivajinagar: 222E, 226N, 121B; Jayanagar: 60A hingga L; Yeshvantapur: K-2; Salib Jalahalli: 248). Salah satu tempat letak bas penting di Bangalore, yang bertujuan untuk menguraikan stesyen bas Majestic, tempat letak bas ini melayani semua perkhidmatan biasa dan Mewah ke arah Mysore, serta perkhidmatan biasa dan mewah antara negeri ke Kerala, melalui Mysore, yang dikendalikan oleh kerajaan negeri Karnataka dan Kerala . Penggunaan biasa dan Deluxe yang menuju ke Ooty, Coimbatore melalui Mysore / Kollegal juga bermula dari tempat ini. Semua perkhidmatan biasa yang dikendalikan oleh Perbadanan Pengangkutan Jalan Negeri Tamil Nadu ke Vellore, Tiruvannamalai, Salem, Vriddachalam, Kanchipuram, Coimbatore dan Trichy menggunakan pendirian Bas ini untuk menghentikan perkhidmatan bas mereka
- 9 Shantinagar (Berdiri Bas Jalan Double), K.H.Road (Dari Majestic: 171, semua bas dari 340 hingga 372; Dari Shivajinagar: 13, 13A hingga 13K, 27,27E, 29,210F, G, GA, Q, K6). Salah satu pendirian bas penting di Bangalore, yang bertujuan untuk mematikan tempat letak kereta Majestic, tempat letak bas ini memenuhi semua perkhidmatan Mewah ke arah Tamilnadu yang dikendalikan oleh KSRTC dan juga SETC Negeri Tamilnadu. Beberapa bas Perbadanan Pengangkutan Negeri Kerala yang bergerak melalui Salem ke Kerala melalui terminal ini.
Terdapat juga banyak perhentian tidak rasmi yang akan dilalui oleh bas berdasarkan permintaan (walaupun pada bas mewah dengan tempat duduk yang dikhaskan, anda boleh meminta konduktor berhenti di hentian tersebut selagi di Bangalore / bandar yang sama dengan perhentian di tiket anda atau membiarkan penumpang menempah tiket dari. Tempat-tempat ini tidak mempunyai infrastruktur stesen, tetapi biasanya terletak berhampiran mercu tanda, di jalan / bulatan / dataran utama, dan tentu saja dapat dilihat oleh banyak bas yang ramai. Salah satu hentian yang sangat berguna ialah Yeswanthpur Junction, yang terletak di sebelah stesen kereta api jarak jauh dengan nama yang sama dan juga stesen metro Yeswanthpur.
Papan paparan bas bas jarak jauh menunjukkan destinasi dalam bahasa tempatan Kannada. Sekiranya anda tidak dapat berbahasa Kannada, anda mungkin perlu mendapatkan bantuan untuk menaiki bas yang betul. Walau bagaimanapun, bas Volvo yang lebih baru semuanya dilengkapi dengan paparan elektronik yang menunjukkan destinasi di Kannada dan Inggeris satu demi satu. Bas bukan Volvo dipasang secara beransur-ansur dengan paparan elektronik ini; ini akan menjadikan perjalanan bas lebih mudah jika anda tidak biasa dengan bahasa tempatan. Walau bagaimanapun, masih terdapat banyak bas Ashok Leyland yang lebih tua dan bahkan beberapa bas Tata yang sangat lama di jalan raya, jadi sebaiknya pergi mengikut waktu atau bertanya kepada konduktor di mana bas menuju (biasanya dengan menanyakan nama destinasi seperti itu , seperti "Mysore?", dan mendengar jika konduktor bertindak balas dengan nama yang sama atau yang lain).

Dengan kereta
Memandu di India boleh menjadi sangat tertekan. Disiplin lorong praktikal tidak ada, membunyikan hon yang berlebihan, kepadatan kenderaan yang tinggi, tidak memperhatikan undang-undang lalu lintas, digabungkan dengan pisau cukur yang tipis. Satu perjalanan dengan teksi kemungkinan besar akan meyakinkan anda bahawa memandu sendiri tidak sesuai dengan risiko, jadi jika anda mahu tiba dengan kereta, anda mungkin mahu menyewa kereta dan pemandu. Kos berbeza-beza, tetapi kebanyakan kombinasi kereta dan pemandu berharga ₹ 1.400-1,700 / hari. Tambang untuk teksi persendirian yang disewa biasanya melebihi 4jam / 40 km (25 mi), harga yang bermula sekitar ₹ 450 untuk sebuah kereta kecil yang tidak berhawa dingin. Bergantung pada tempat asal anda, anda mungkin dapat merundingkan tambang yang lebih rendah jika perjalanan tidak jauh, dan mungkin tambang yang lebih tinggi jika anda menempuh perjalanan jauh dan pemandu anda harus membuat perjalanan balik mengikut waktunya. Mempunyai idea anggaran mengenai tambang atau jarak sebelumnya dan kemahiran menawar yang berterusan dapat menghasilkan penjimatan yang besar. Walaupun harganya lebih mahal, pertimbangkan untuk meminta kereta berhawa dingin jika anda tidak terbiasa dengan panas, terutama pada musim panas. Sebuah kereta yang berhawa dingin juga akan membantu menyaring pencemaran udara yang cukup besar, terutama di jalan raya yang sesak. Sekiranya anda mahukan sesuatu yang lebih istimewa, seperti kereta mewah atau SUV, bersiaplah untuk membayar tambahan.
Keliling
Dengan metro
The Metro Bangalore (Namma Metro) adalah perkhidmatan kereta api merentas bandar yang cekap. Pada Mac 2020, terdapat dua jalur yang bersilang di Terminal Majestic Stesen Bas Kempegowda (disebut Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Station Majestic), dengan jumlah 41 perhentian. Tiket boleh dibeli di mana-mana stesen. Tambang bergantung pada jumlah stesen yang akan berulang-alik. Tambang minimum ialah ₹ 10 dan maksimum ialah ₹ 60. Kad berharga ₹ 50 akan menjimatkan anda dari barisan dan boleh dicas semula secara dalam talian (disyorkan untuk mengisi semula di kaunter). Kad ini menawarkan potongan harga 5% untuk tambang biasa. Tidak ada konsesi lain untuk warga emas, wanita, dan lain-lain. Tiket boleh dibeli untuk kanak-kanak dengan ketinggian lebih dari 3 kaki.
Sekiranya anda mendapat token pintar (tiket perjalanan tunggal), ingat bahawa ia harus dikembalikan di stesen yang anda turun, jadi ambil gambar sebelum anda pergi jika anda mahu. Semua kereta api adalah kereta api 6 orang. Ini mengurangkan kesibukan di kereta api.
Laluan yang ada adalah:
- Garis Timur-Barat / Garis Ungu: Baiyappanhalli (Old Madras Road) -> Jalan Swami Vivekananda -> Indiranagar -> Halasuru -> Trinity Circle -> MGRoad -> Cubbon Park -> Vidhana Soudha -> Sir M Vishweshwaraya Station Central College -> Stesen Bas Kempegowda (stesen pertukaran) -> Stesen Kereta Api Bandar -> Jalan Magadi -> Hosahalli -> Vijayanagar -> Attiguppe -> Deepanjalinagar -> Nayandahalli (Jalan Mysore) -
- Garis Utara-Selatan / Garis Hijau: Nagasandra (Jalan Tumkur) -> Dasarahalli -> Jalahalli -> Industri Peenya -> Peenya -> Goraguntepalya -> Stesen Kereta Api Yeshvantapur (pintu masuk PF-6) -> Kilang Sabun Sandal -> Mahalakshmi- -> Rajajinagar -> Jalan Kuvempu -> Srirampura -> Jalan Mantri Square Sampige -> Stesen Bas Kempegowda (stesen pertukaran) -> Chikpet -> KRMarket -> Kolej Nasional -> Lalbagh -> South End Circle -> Jayanagar -> RVRoad -> Banashankari -> JPNagar -> Yelechanahalli
Dengan bas
Bas murah dan biasanya kerap (walaupun mahal berbanding dengan negeri lain). Tetapi perjalanan dengan mereka boleh menjadi sangat sukar jika anda tidak mengetahui sistemnya dengan baik. Kini, kebanyakan bas mempunyai papan tanda digital yang bergantian antara bahasa tempatan Kannada dan Inggeris tetapi beberapa bas masih memaparkan tanda-tanda lama yang dicetak dengan hanya nombor laluan dalam bahasa Inggeris, dengan maklumat destinasi dan laluan ditulis di Kannada. Sudah tentu, walaupun dengan papan tanda digital, bas memerlukan masa yang lama untuk menukar bahasa yang dipaparkan, yang bermaksud ketinggalan bas anda dengan mudah. Ini bermaksud anda perlu ketahui nombor laluan yang anda perlukan sebelum anda meneruskan, yang boleh anda dapatkan dari Laman web BMTC, Laman web BMTCRoutes.in, Keinginan, memasukkan titik permulaan dan titik akhir anda di peta Google, atau dengan meminta penduduk tempatan.
Tidak semua perhentian bas ditandai dengan jelas, jadi perjalanan anda mungkin agak sukar. Kumpulan orang yang berdiri di sekitar boleh menjadi petunjuk yang baik bahawa bas akan berhenti di situ. Adalah idea yang baik untuk bertanya kepada pemandu atau konduktor jika mereka berhenti di hentian yang anda mahu pergi (500 dan 500Q tidak akan pergi ke semua perhentian yang sama). Tanya sahaja nama dengan nada pertanyaan dan anda akan mendapat jawapan. Konduktor (ada satu di setiap bas dan mereka mengambil tambang dan mengeluarkan tiket - mereka selalu berpakaian seragam) juga berguna untuk memberitahu anda di mana / kapan perhentian anda jika anda bertanya, begitu juga sesama penumpang jika mereka kerap menggunakan laluan. Peta laluan yang dihantar melalui sistem bas jarang berlaku, walaupun peta dijual di terminal bas utama (Kempegowda Bus Stand dan Shivajinagar). BMTC (bebas tol) ☏ 1-800-425-1663.
Berhati-hatilah: beberapa pemandu bas meletakkan tanda laluan mereka di sebelah kanan bawah angin dan bukannya tempatnya di pemegang tanda di bahagian atas cermin depan.
Bas dengan papan paparan berwarna hitam berjalan di dalam bandar. Bas papan merah meliputi jarak jauh dan pergi ke pinggir bandar yang berdekatan. Bas bandar biasa berwarna putih & biru atau hijau. Bas bandar yang lebih baru cenderung berwarna biru, dan mempunyai papan paparan LED. Terdapat bas Volvo berwarna biru, yang dipanggil Vajra, yang beroperasi terutamanya di laluan sektor IT seperti Bandar Elektronik , ITPL dan Jalan Lingkaran Luar, dan ke tempat-tempat pelancongan seperti Taman Negara Bannerghatta dan hujung minggu Perkhidmatan ke Wonderla. Mereka menawarkan perjalanan berhawa dingin yang selesa dengan harga lebih tinggi (1 1/2 hingga 2 kali ganda tambang bas biasa) daripada bas biasa (yang tidak berhawa dingin). Tidak seperti kebanyakan bas lain, Vajras mempunyai papan paparan LED di depan dan sisi yang memaparkan maklumat tujuan dan laluan dalam bahasa Inggeris dan juga Kannada.
BMTC juga beroperasi Vayu Vajra perkhidmatan ke Bangalore International Airport dari pelbagai destinasi di seluruh Bandar. KIAS-9 adalah laluan yang paling kerap, yang menghubungkan Lapangan Terbang ke perhentian Bas Majestic.
Bas bandar sesak pada waktu sibuk, sekurang-kurangnya jam 7-10 pagi dan 5-9 malam (M-Sa) tetapi seseorang boleh bergerak dengan sedikit kesukaran pada waktu siang. Perkhidmatan bas biasanya bermula pada jam 5 atau 6:00 pagi dan lebih jarang dari jam 9:30 pagi hingga 10:00 malam dan jarang berlaku selepas jam 10:30 malam. Juga perhatikan bahawa lalu lintas di Bangalore terkenal. Perjalanan ke seluruh bandar boleh memakan masa hingga 4 jam, terutama pada waktu sibuk. Tidak ada lorong bas, jadi bas, teksi dan kereta menghadapi kesesakan lalu lintas yang sama!
Bas utama di bandar ini mempunyai tempat duduk untuk wanita di depan, di antara pintu depan dan tengah. Tempat duduk pertama di dekat pintu depan disediakan untuk warga emas wanita, sementara tempat duduk pertama di belakang pintu tengah adalah untuk orang yang cacat fizikal, dan tempat duduk menghadap pintu adalah untuk warga emas. Umumnya anda boleh menaiki dan keluar bas dari kedua-dua pintu.
Selalu lebih baik membeli pas harian jika anda merancang perjalanan sepanjang hari di dalam bas. Bayaran harian berharga ₹ 70 mulai Januari 2018 dan sangat berguna jika anda perlu menaiki beberapa bas dalam satu hari. Pas setiap hari dikeluarkan oleh konduktor bas yang bertugas atau di tempat letak bas. Dengan menggunakan pas ini, anda boleh melakukan perjalanan di mana-mana bas (selain Vajra) sepanjang hari, berapa kali. Warga emas diberi konsesi 25% di semua bas atas pengeluaran kad pengenalan yang sah (mis., Pasport). Kanak-kanak berumur 4-12 tahun diberi konsesi 50%. Tiada bayaran untuk kanak-kanak berumur sehingga 4 tahun.
Terdapat tiga tempat letak bas utama:
- 10 Pangkalan bas Kempegowda (Pangkalan Bas Majestic) (Berhampiran Gandhi Nagar, betul-betul di seberang stesen kereta api Kota Bengaluru). Cukup teratur dan mudah dilayari. Terdapat pejabat siasatan berhampiran platform nombor 1 di 'Majestic' di mana anda boleh meminta nombor bas dan platform untuk tujuan yang anda mahukan. Anda boleh menemui peta besar yang dipamerkan, yang boleh anda gunakan untuk mencari nombor bas yang perlu anda ambil jika anda mengetahui kawasan yang akan anda tuju. Anda tentu saja selalu bertanya kepada konduktor atau penumpang lain. Peta laluan juga dijual di platform. Mempunyai stesen untuk kedua-dua laluan metro.
- 11 Pasar Bandar. Sekitar 2.5 km (1.6 mi) dari Majestic. Boleh menakutkan pendatang baru, kerana ia sangat tidak teratur. Ia adalah tempat letak tanah yang besar di bawah lebuh raya overhead, dan tidak banyak pesanan ke tempat bas diletakkan.
- 12 Shivajinagar. Di utara. Ia teratur dengan rapi, dan ada jendela siasatan untuk mencari mengenai bas. Sekiranya anda menukar bas, anda mungkin harus turun di jalan dan berjalan ke tempat bas untuk menaiki bas seterusnya. Anda juga dapat melihat peta besar yang dipamerkan di sini, yang boleh anda gunakan untuk mencari nombor bas yang perlu anda ambil jika anda mengetahui kawasan yang akan anda tuju. Peta laluan juga dijual di platform.
Bas disediakan untuk semua kawasan utama bandar dari ketiga-tiga tempat letak bas ini. Terdapat banyak perkembangan kerana projek metro yang sedang berjalan dan juga usaha untuk menguraikan bandar. BMTC menambah lebih banyak stesen bas sepanjang masa. Lebih baik memeriksa di laman web mereka untuk mengetahui keadaan terkini.
Dengan becak automatik
 | Nota: Autorickshaws dan teksi di Bangalore mempunyai sistem tambang bermeter. Tip tidak dijangka atau diperlukan apabila seseorang menggunakan perkhidmatan autorickshaw atau teksi. |
Auto-becak (juga disebut "auto") ada di mana-mana sahaja pada bila-bila masa sepanjang hari. Mereka adalah alat roda tiga hijau-dan-kuning atau hitam-dan-kuning. Mereka adalah cara cepat (tetapi tidak selamat) untuk berkeliling kota - dalam lalu lintas yang padat, mereka lebih pantas daripada teksi atau bas.
Auto-becak sepatutnya mengenakan tambang mengikut bacaan meter, yang sama dengan ₹ 13 per kilometer jarak, caj minimum ₹ 25 untuk 1.8 km pertama (1.1 mi) atau kurang, dan surcaj 50% selepas 10:00 (disebut "satu setengah"). Bagasi berat dikenakan bayaran tambahan sekitar ₹ 10-20. Mereka biasanya cenderung mengenakan bayaran secara ad-hoc bergantung pada jarak tujuan, kemungkinan mendapatkan pelanggan lain dari lokasi yang disebutkan, dan suasana hati mereka. Anda hanya perlu menolak untuk menaiki kenderaan yang mana meternya rosak atau pemandu enggan menggunakannya. Mengatakan "meter tolong" biasanya akan melakukan muslihat.
Pelancong harus berhati-hati ketika mendekati becak automatik pada waktu malam, atau ketika hujan lebat. Kemungkinan mereka akan mengenakan harga yang terlalu tinggi (sesetengah pemandu mungkin menuntut bayaran tambahan 100% selepas 10:00 atau 11:00), tetapi anda mesti menolak untuk menaiki kes seperti itu. Bantuan boleh diambil dari polis trafik setempat untuk memanfaatkan becak auto dalam keadaan seperti itu. Sekiranya anda seorang pelawat dan tidak mengetahui laluan ke destinasi, adalah idea yang baik untuk menawar dan memperbaiki tambang sebelum menaiki untuk mengelakkan laluan panjang dan berbelit yang digunakan oleh pemandu - atau periksa laluan dengan merakam trek GPS di telefon bimbit anda.
Pemandu automatik biasanya mengenakan kadar 1.5 untuk masa dari 9:00 hingga 06:00. Sebagai contoh, jika meter berbunyi ₹ 100, anda harus membayar ₹ 150. Menangkap kenderaan dengan harga biasa pada masa ini sukar.
Perkara lain yang perlu diingat adalah bersikap tegas tetapi tidak lantang dalam hujah ketika melakukan perjalanan di dalam kereta. Beberapa pemandu yang kurang bereputasi mungkin bekerjasama dengan rakan mereka di tengah jalan untuk menimbulkan masalah. Ingatlah bahawa walaupun orang Bangalore terkenal dengan tingkah laku mereka yang sopan dan lemah lembut, pemandu kenderaan biasanya merupakan pengecualian. Sebilangan orang tidak akan memikirkan untuk mencuba anda. If in doubt, consult a local or your hotel travel desk.
If a rickshaw driver offers to show/drive you to some great places to shop, firmly refuse. A common tactic is to drive you to local shops where you will be pressured to buy Indian crafts that you probably don't want. Know your destination and insist upon it.
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.
Dengan teksi
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 tidak 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.
By bicycle
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 dan 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.
Lihat
There are city tours that can show you the city efficiently if you are short on time. Typically, tours do tidak 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 dan 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 The Collective 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. Road (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.
Shopping malls
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 Lifestyle (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.
Markets
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
Pasar tradisional yang lebih kecil tetapi meriah boleh didapati di kawasan perumahan seperti Bazar Gandhi, Jajahan N R, Banashankari, Malleswaram, Jayanagar, JP Nagar & Shivajinagar.
Untuk pilihan makanan lain, anda boleh membeli barang runcit di Nature's Basket atau Spar, More, FoodWorld, pilihannya sangat besar, semuanya ada di Jalan 80 kaki. Di blok 1 anda boleh menemui kedai runcit yang lebih sesuai untuk penduduk tempatan, jika anda menginginkannya dengan cara tradisional!

Kerja
Orang India
Cara terbaik untuk mencari pekerjaan di Bangalore adalah melalui pameran pekerjaan, portal pekerjaan, memohon secara langsung kepada syarikat yang berminat, dan melalui pemburu kepala.
Peraturan Pekerjaan Warganegara Bukan India Peraturan India mungkin memerlukan mana-mana warganegara asing yang bekerja di India memperoleh sekurang-kurangnya AS $ 25,000 / tahun. Ini dikecualikan untuk (a) Koki etnik, (b) Guru bahasa (selain guru bahasa Inggeris) / penterjemah dan (c) Kakitangan yang bekerja untuk Kedutaan / Komisen Tinggi. Periksa tawaran pampasan anda sehingga anda memenuhi syarat ini dan layak mendapatkan visa pekerjaan. Sebilangan warga asing bekerja dengan gaji lebih rendah daripada ini, biasanya di sektor NGO. |
Dirujuk sebagai Lembah Silikon India, kota ini menyediakan banyak peluang pekerjaan kepada anak-anak muda dari berbagai pelosok India.
Orang Bukan India
Dengan sedikit kerja keras dan kegigihan mencari pekerjaan adalah mungkin di Bangalore. Sebilangan besar jawatan yang ada berada di bidang IT tetapi tidak semestinya berdasarkan IT. Beberapa ekspatriat melakukan pemasaran, jaminan kualiti, latihan aksen dan terjemahan antara lain. Semua pekerjaan di India memerlukan visa pekerjaan yang mesti diperoleh di luar negara dan ditaja oleh syarikat pengambilan di India. Secara amnya, gaji untuk ekspatriat sangat tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan upah India tempatan. Sumber terbaik untuk pekerjaan adalah melalui komuniti ekspatriat. Tanya-tanya tetapi tempat yang baik untuk bertemu ekspatriat adalah makan siang di hotel bertaraf 5 bintang atau di banyak kedai kopi di dalam dan sekitar kawasan MG Road.
Makan
Bangalore mempunyai pelbagai pilihan makanan. Orang asing pasti ingin mencari kebersihan dalam memilih tempat makan. Juga jangan berharap bahagian luarnya terlalu mewah, perhatikan kebersihan bahagian dalam dan pelayan ketika memilih tempat makan! Pilihan makan termasuk restoran mewah hingga rantai ke kuil ke kedai ibu dan pop dan tentunya penjual jalanan! Restoran biasanya memberi label jika mereka hanya menyajikan vegetarian (sayuran atau sayuran tulen) atau masakan vegetarian dan bukan sayuran. Sekiranya anda sudah lama tidak berada di India, lebih selamat mengambil air botol. Tetapi jus dan minuman lain biasanya ok.
Terdapat juga ratusan jus kelapa muda dan jus tebu! Penyegar yang bagus semasa anda berkeliling bandar! Kedua-duanya bagus untuk tetap sejuk dan bertenaga. Sebiji kelapa berharga ₹ 25-30 (sebilangan buah kelapa mungkin mempunyai kelapa lebih kecil seharga ₹ 10-15). Jus tebu berjalan ₹ 10-15 per cawan. Bangalore jauh dari laut, dan dengan demikian kualiti makanan laut boleh berbeza-beza. Beberapa tempat makanan laut mewah dan popular menguruskan sumur ini, tetapi pelancong asing mungkin ingin sedikit berjalan dengan teliti.
Orang asing mungkin hanya ingin minum air botol dan makan chutney sahaja yang dibuat dengan air botol atau ditapis. Juga, daging lembu dilarang berada di menu di restoran Karnataka.
Jalan 80 kaki (24 m) adalah Jalan Makan Koramangala. Pizza Hut, Domino's, KFC, Taco Bell, Au Bon Pain semuanya terdapat di sini. Terdapat juga banyak rantai yang menyajikan masakan India tempatan. Chandni Chowk adalah pilihan yang bagus jika anda mahukan pengalaman dhaba Punjabi di luar bandar.

Kekal selamat
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.
Cellular
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 Sambung 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 dan 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.

Ambulances can be requested by calling 108.

Namun, kebanyakan bank menawarkan pertukaran mata wang di semua pejabat cawangan mereka, seperti juga beberapa agensi pelancongan. Nilai tukar boleh sedikit berbeza, jadi disarankan untuk berbelanja. Biasanya, agensi pelancongan akan menawarkan kadar pertukaran yang lebih baik daripada bank. Beberapa agensi "luar biasa" boleh didapati di sekitar kawasan komersial M.G. Jalan raya.
