Where is Bangalore? (Transportation)

     Both Bangalore and Bangkok are similar in the transportation systems such as air, rail and road.  The Bengaluru International Airport is served for international and domestic air flight that just open in 2008. Air Deccan and Kingfisher airline have their headquarter in Bangalore, therefore they also have the lowest ticket price which I known because I just brought airplane ticket from Bangkok  to Bangalore, and the ticket has 44% lower than Thai’s airway. Moreover, a rapid transit system is Indian railways that have the largest rail network in Asia and the world’s second largest which is controlled by Indian government. The rail transports were first introduced to India in 1853 which designed and built by the British. Bangalore is under the South Western Railway zone that connects to other major city such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bhopal. The most popular local transportation in Bangalore is auto-rickshaws, green and yellow three-wheeled. Passenger can negotiation more than a half of starting price; moreover, passenger must ask to they about condition of price because some of them usually play a trick with passenger. For example, we agree 600RS for transport to hotel. When we arrive to hotel, auto-rickshaws will request for 600RS per person so, you have to pay more than 600RS if you not take it alone.  Therefore, passenger must be alert and clear transport’s condition.
