Reaching Mangalore International Airport offers a variety of transportation options, each balancing cost, convenience, and comfort, catering to different traveler needs and preferences.
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) operates city buses across Mangalore and its suburbs, presenting an affordable travel choice with fares usually under INR 50. Although popular among locals, including school children, these buses may become crowded during peak hours.
Auto-rickshaws serve as a flexible option for short distances and tight spaces, featuring metered fares with room for negotiation, especially after dark or over longer distances. While they're generally safe, solo female travelers are advised to exercise caution during late hours.
Taxis provide a more comfortable alternative, though less common, and app-based cab services like Ola and Uber have surged in popularity for offering safe, convenient, and economically priced journeys accessible at any hour, with fares dependent on the distance and duration of travel.
