Bangalore is easily accessed by many means of transports. Flying into the city is the most popular way to arrive, but there are bus and train routes from all across the country. Buses connect Bangalore to all major cities in southern India. Public buses are cheaper than the private options, but they can also be incredibly crowded and often uncomfortable. Private buses travel routes to Bombay, Goa, Chennai, Mangalore, Coimbatore and Madurai and offer a much more comfortable journey with air-conditioning and refreshments.
