By Auto Rickshaw (Three Wheeler)
Oh! Boy, you ought to ride one of these. These are 3 wheelers and will bring you from anywhere to J N Tata Auditorium.
When operated out of city limits and between 22:00 and 0500, the autos charge one and a half times the normal meter reading.
For a ride from Bangalore Bus Stand ( Majestic / Railway Station ) the fare should be about Rs. 42.
If you are new to India, you may want to know how to hire one of these three wheelers.
- When you see an auto, just wave to the driver and he should stop.
- Never ask the driver whether he would kindly take you to the destination - all Bangaloreans know that this is asking for trouble!
- Sit in the auto rikshaw, make yourself comfortable, then (without batting an eyelid) say "IISc (Indian Institute of Science), J.N.Tata Hall", then look nonchalantly out of the door on your left, having done your duty of telling him where you want to go.
BEWARE!! : Please ensure that the driver puts the fare-meter flag down, and that you pay the fares ONLY according to the auto meter. There are no conversion charts applicable!
