Transportation from City Center to Bengaluru Airport
Thanks to India's advanced transportation network, it is easy to reach Kempegowda International Airport from Bengaluru city centre. The most convenient and fastest vehicle for this is a taxi. In Bengaluru, you can take a taxi with or without air conditioning, or if you are traveling as a single woman, you can take a taxi with a female driver. It takes 45 minutes under normal traffic conditions to reach the airport, which is 35 km from the city.
Uber and Ola app are also a frequently used mode of transportation in the city. You can make a fast and safe journey with the vehicles you call from this application. With this service, you can travel a distance of approximately 35 km in 45 minutes.
One of the most economical ways to reach the airport in Bengaluru is to take the airport bus, which departs from the BMTC Vayu Vajra stop. These air-conditioned buses, which you can take every day of the week, will take you to the airport in about an hour.
It is not possible to come to India and not take the train. You can take the busses departing from the city center to a stop close to the airport and take the airport shuttles from there. You can view the times of these trains on the airport's official website.
Another way to make this journey is to use tricycles like Tuk-tuk, which are widely used in urban transportation. With this vehicle, which is not very safe and fast, you only have to get off at a point close to the airport and walk the remaining distance.
