Getting Around in Bangalore

It's called a "sleeper bus." The bus service even provides you with a pillow!
  • Metro— The metro is a quick way to get from one place to another, and you can see nice views of the city from the metro since it goes through the city at a high level. 
  • How did I feel when I tried this way of getting around?:

    I enjoy riding in autorickshaws the most because they are quick and cheap, and you get a breeze as you ride. It's a little bit bumpy, but all the rickshaws have their own colorful decorations and the drivers are very kind. The only negative part about the autorickshaw is the air pollution. I also like riding on motorcycles with friends, but it doesn't feel as safe as riding in a rickshaw or a car. 

    Is this way of getting around connected to the culture and environment, How?:

    The autorickshaw is connected to Indian history and culture because they first appeared in the 1880s and have grown to be the main form of transit since that time. I also find it interesting that the auto drivers decorate their vehicles with stickers and Hindu items, such as statues of Ganesha (a Hindu god), on their dashboards.
