Kempe Gowda International Airport (IATA: BLR), (ICAO: VOBL)
[4] is located in Devanahalli, 40 km (25 mi) from the central business district
of Bangalore (MG Road) and 30 km (19 mi) from the Bangalore City Railway
Station. The new airport, open since May 2008, is among India's busiest and
most modern. The airport is host to 10 domestic airlines and 21 international
airlines connecting the city to about 50 destinations across India and the rest
of the world.
By train
Bangalore has two major railway terminals. The Bangalore
City (IR station code: SBC) railway station is situated in the heart of the
city, opposite the Majestic Bus stand. Most trains, both local and
long-distance, arrive and depart from here. The other terminal is Yeshwantpur
Junction (IR station code: YPR) located on NH-4 (Tumkur Road). A few (mostly
long-distance) trains arrive and depart from here. Two smaller railway
terminals are Bangalore East (IR station code: BNCE) and Bangalore Cantonment
(IR station code: BNC).Of late Krishnarajapuram (KJM) has become an important
stop owing to proximity of IT companies and the ring road just passing close to
the station and well connected by buses to major parts. It also forms the 1st
stop for majority trains leaving Yeshvantapur towards Jolarpettai.
By bus
If you have difficulty in arranging a plane or railway
ticket to your next destination, or you prefer a little more adventure, you can
go by bus. There are both government and private buses that run services to
major cities like Mumbai, Goa, Chennai, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Madurai,
Tirupati, Hyderabad, etc. Buses can be a normal luxury bus, a Volvo A/C bus or
a sleeper bus for night travel.
