Autorickshaw

Three wheeled auto rickshaws or autos are the most used means to commute within the city. They have an electronic meter that displays the fare at the end of the journey. They can take in up to three passengers and offer a cheap and quick option of commuting.

Taxis

For those of you who prefer four wheels to three, taxi service within Bangalore is provided by several private operators and are commonly called 'City Taxis'. They can accommodate four passengers.
