Commuting Tips I can Follow to Make Life Easier in Bangalore

To make life easier while staying in a hostel for students in Bangalore, note down these tips below:

• Know About All the Options and Compare Costs
• Prefer Booking Rides Online Over Offline
• Find a Commuting Partner
• Carry a Pack of Essentials

Know About All the Options and Compare Costs

First things first, it all depends on the location of your PG, your college, and the distance between them. So you need to learn about all the available options in your locality. And then compare their costs to arrive at the most feasible option for you.

When it comes to public transport in Bangalore, here’s the general rule. For longer distances, go for the metro or local buses. And for shorter distances, autos and bike rentals are better. But here’s the thing tho, if your college is not too far away, bicycles are pretty awesome. But you know what’s best? It’s walking. Yeah, no, we’re not kidding. A lot of people do really take a walk to their college. Even if it means waking up early or vibing to the Boulevard of Broken Dreams (remember Green Day? Sigh).

Prefer Booking Rides Online Over Offline

Now, this is something every Bangalorean would agree on. When it comes to autos, always book one from online apps like Ola, Uber, or Rapido. Because if you take one offline, either you’d get duped. Or fall victim to a dodgy meter. Or worse, spend 20 mins convincing them to take you in and end up getting rejected anyway. In short, these online apps will be to you what Leonard is to Sheldon. Always reliable to get you around the city.

Find a Commuting Partner

Yep, whatever mode of transport you choose (except bikes), try finding a commuting partner. This way, you can split the fares and also have company while you make that dreadful journey to the 8 am class. And nobody may have told you this, but time runs slower when you spend it alone. Or if you’re on Miller’s planet from Interstellar.

Carry a Pack of Essentials

Even though Bangalore’s weather is super duper pleasant all throughout the year, it’s always good to carry a few essentials in your backpack. For starters, you should keep wet wipes, sunscreen, a bottle of water, and a bar of chocolate to eat when your energy’s runnin’ low. Pretty generic, we admit. But it’s always the most basic things that we’re often not mindful about, innit? Like the unique homo-sapiens that forget about flushing the toilet after they’ve done their deed.

Sorry for Ending on Such a Dump Note

Ok bye, we’ll stop.
