Getting Around

TO/FROM THE AIRPORT
The swish city airport ( 66782251; www.bengaluruairport.com ) is in Hebbal, about 40km north
from the MG Rd area. Prepaid taxis can take you from the airport to the city centre (?750).
You can also take the hourly shuttle Vayu Vajra AC bus service to Majestic or MG Rd
(?170).

AUTORICKSHAW
The city's autorickshaw drivers are legally required to use their meters; few comply in
reality. After 10pm, 50% is added onto the metered rate. Flag fall is ?20 for the first 2km
and then ?11 for each extra kilometre.
