It costs about Rs 300 by auto rickshaw and Rs 600 by taxi. Pre paid taxi facilities are available in Airport. Bangalore airport is well connected to almost all airports in India. International flights to major foreign cities are also operated from Bangalore. <br /> <br /> </span> </div> <h2 align="justify" class="style2">Bangalore By Train</h2> <div align="justify"><span class="style2">Bangalore Majestic, Bangalore Cantonment (8 km to Majestic) and Yeshwanthpur (10 km away from Majestic) are the three main stations in Bangalore. Bangalore Majestic is connected to all major cities in India. </span> </div> <p align="justify" class="style2"> </p> <h2 align="justify" class="style2">Bangalore By Bus</h2> <p align="justify" class="style2">KSRTC buses connect all cities in the state to Bangalore. Many super deluxe bus services are available from Bangalore to Hyderabad, Cochin, Trivandrum, Chennai, Mumbai, Goa and Mysore.</p> <p align="justify">  </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify" class="style1">How to reach IISc (Tata Institute)?</p> <p align="justify"><br /> Trivias: Local name for IISc is 'Tata Institute' . Always use 'Tata Institute' with the taxi, auto drivers, and bus conductors. Autorickshaw and taxi drivers can generally converse in Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi. </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify">Transport from/to the Airport: IISc is about 20 km from the Bangalore Airport (both domestic and International). Prepaid taxis are available at the airport to all parts of the city. While both private and government (KSTDC) taxis are available, we strongly recommend the government-run (KSTDC) taxi for its hassle-free service and clean cars. Look for the KSTDC (Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation) counter just outside the baggage claim area. The prepaid fare to the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) is Rs.290/- (Two Hundred Ninty). Fare includes tips (service compris) and baggage handling. Ask for your and the driver's receipts at the counter, and hand over the driver's receipt only after reaching your destination. </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify">Reaching IISc From the Main Railway Station: The main railway station in Bangalore is called Bangalore City which is about 7 km from IISc. The railway station and the main bus stand (called as Majestic) are opposite to each other. Pre-paid autorickshaw facility is available at the Bangalore City Railway Station. You could tell the counterperson that you are travelling to Tata Institute. A trip to IISc may cost about Rs. 35. Travel by autorickshaws between 10:00 p.m. and 06:00 a.m. will cost 50% more. You can also use the bus services from the Majestic bus station: Bus Route nos. 252 E, 258 C, 271 E, 273 C, 275, 99 A and B . Alight at TATA INSTITUTE Bus Stop Reaching IISc </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify">From the Cantontment Railway Station: Another important railway station in Bangalore is Cantontment Railway Station, also known as Bangalore Cantt. The distance from this station to IISc is almost same as the Bangalore City railway station and it also has prepaid autorickshaw facility. You can also use the bus services from the bus stop just opposite to the station. Route Nos. 94 A and E, 252 A, 270 A, 272, 276 A . Reaching IIsc </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify">From the Yeshwantpur Railway Station: Yeshwantpur is a small railway station, located within Bangalore, but it is NOT the main railway station of Bangalore. One good thing about Yeshwantpur is that it is very close to IISc, but very few trains stop here. The autorickshaw ride from Yeshwantpur to IISc will cost around Rs. 10 to Rs. 15. No prepaid autorickshaw facility available here.</p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify"> </p> <p align="justify"><strong>Useful links: <br /> </strong>INDO-US forum: <a href="http://www.nist.gov/cgi-bin/exit_nist.cgi?url=http://www.indousstf.org">http://www.indousstf.org</a><br /> IISc: <a href="http://www.nist.gov/cgi-bin/exit_nist.cgi?url=http://www.iisc.ernet.in/">http://www.iisc.ernet.in/</a><br /> NIST: <a href="http://www.nist.gov">http://www.nist.gov<br /> </a> CPDM: <a href="http://www.nist.gov/cgi-bin/exit_nist.cgi?url=http://www.cpdm.iisc.ernet.in/">http://www.cpdm.iisc.ernet.in/</a></p> <p align="justify"> </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td background="../004.jpg" bgcolor="#028491"> </td> <td bgcolor="#669966"><div align="center" class="style1"><a href="../index.html">Indo-US Workshop on Designing Sustainable Products, Services and Manufacturing Systems</a></div></td> </tr> </table> <map name="Map" id="Map"><area shape="rect" coords="8,113,145,171" href="http://www.nist.gov" target="_blank" alt="Nist website" /> <area shape="rect" coords="587,95,662,173" href="http://www.nist.gov/cgi-bin/exit_nist.cgi?url=http://www.iisc.ernet.in" target="_blank" alt="IISc website" /> <area shape="rect" coords="15,7,660,68" href="../index.html" target="_blank" alt="main page" /> </map> <map name="Map2" id="Map2"><area shape="rect" coords="5,2,144,48" href="http://www.nist.gov/cgi-bin/exit_nist.cgi?url=http://www.indousstf.org" target="h" alt="indiusstf website" /> </map></body> </html>
