By Train

The Bangalore City railway station is situated in the centre of the city, around the Majestic Bus stand and all trains, local and out-bound arrive and depart from here. The newly established Yelahanka railway station located in a suburban location, about 10 kilometres away from the main railway station is growing and there are a few outbound trains that regularly arrive and depart from it.
Bangalore also has a railway station in the Cantonment Area, called the Cantonment Railway Station - this is centrally located and in a better part of town. Not all trains stop here, though.
Bookings can be done at either the railway station or at a few of Indian Railways booking counters at major residential areas. Booking can also be done online from the Indian Railways site.

Note that if you are booking at Bangalore Central and are travelling to Mysore, there is a different line for travellers to Mysore and travellers to all other destinations. This is to cater for the large amount of travellers between Bangalore and Mysore. If travelling to Mysore on a Sunday afternoon, arrive early as there is usually a long ling for reserving tickets!

"Bangalore"

This is my first time stepping my foot in India. So bangalore represent my perception about India for a while. Surprisingly, I thought the city where I live (Jakarta) is the most crowded and has the worst traffic jam. But now I change my view.

The traffic is terrible, even in the bad traffic jam, cars-motorcycles-threecycles can still make a 'zig-zag' way to get through it. And a short distance that you can reach in 20 min, you can reach it in almost 2 hours.

Well this's a growing city, which I hope in the next few years it will grows better with a good infrastructure to travelling.

Though in this month (November) the weather is perfect.. it's cool..

Well, I'll try to explore a little bit in my last few hours in this city.
