By Bus by cuppadamoksha
Bangalore bus stand is well-maintained and conveniently located opposite the city railway station. Officially named after the founder of Bangalore, 'Kempegowda' but more commonly known as 'the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus stand,' it handles buses that connect Bangalore to all major cities and states in south India. TThe main bus stand of 'the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) ,' which maintains bus services within the city, is located next to the 'Majestic Bus stand'
There are 4 major Bus stands: Majestic Bus stand near Gandhi Nagar is close to the railway station and is quite neatly organised and is easily navigable. City Market is around 2 to 3 kms away from Majestic and could daunt newcomers, since it is very disorganised. Shivajinagar in the north and Jayanagar 4th Block in the south have Bus stands as well. Most Bus stops in the city are undergoing a revamp and have good display depicting the buses that frequent the stop and the name of the stop.
Commuting by bus is an experience. I would reccommend boarding the bus at the starting point eiter Majestic or Shivaji Nagar and buying a fare to the last stop. This way you get a mini tour of Bangalore but you will also get to actaully see the real people that live in Bangalore - the traditional middle class .
A NEW ADDITION TO THE BANGALORE BUS SERVICE ARE THE AIR CONDITIONED BUSES .THEY ARE UNDOUBTEDLY MORE EXPENSIVE BUT WELL WORTH THE MONEY U PAY AS U TRAVEL IN COMFORT :)
