subject: Special Tirupathy Bangalore Buses For Pilgrims [print this page] Tirupathi Bangalore is hardly any distanceTirupathi Bangalore is hardly any distance. In fact, Tirupathy is one of the most favourite weekend destinations of people of Bangalore. For any religious ceremony they head off to Tirupathi thanks to only a couple of hours journey and excellent roads connecting the two cities.
With so many people visiting the shrine so often, the government of Karnataka has started a special service of Tirupathi Bangalore buses that starts from Bangalore and takes the passengers very close to the shrine. From this point, the pilgrims are on their own. They can do Darshan and get back to the bus by evening. The same bus takes them back to Bangalore.
Thus, it has become very convenient for people to visit Tirupathy Balaji thanks to these special buses. These buses are operated during the weekends only as this is the time when more people visit the shrine. The charges of these buses are also not high. There are basically two types of special Tirupathi Bangalore buses: AC and Non AC. It is obvious that the fare of AC buses would me more than Non AC but definitely it comes out to be much lesser as compared to hiring a cab.
You need to pay only Rs 500 for a person even in AC buses. The non AC Tirupathi Bangalore special buses are half the rate of AC buses. Thus, if you dont want to spend too much on travelling, you can always board a Non AC bus. It is very comfortable and is same as the AC bus except the air conditioning part. Since the journey is only of couple of hours and if you are travelling in a good season, there is as it is no need of AC.
The greatest advantage of traveling through these special buses is that they start from the Bangalore bus terminal and drop you at almost the doorsteps of the temple at Tirupathy. Thus, even old people and couples with children need not worry as they dont have to walk too far. Additionally, there is one Tirupathi Bangalore special bus after every couple of hours that makes it even more convenient for the travellers.
Just as Tirupathi Bangalore, there are special buses from Hyderabad to Secunderabad too. Since it takes only an hour to cover this distance, you can always opt for cheap buses from Hyderabad to Secinderabad which are direct and do not stop at every stoppage to enjoy the journey.
