Travel Tips & Safety

Transportation Safety

Use Trusted Transport Services – For taxis and rental cars, opt for registered travel agencies or trusted ride-sharing apps (Ola, Uber).
✅ Book Train & Bus Tickets in Advance – Shivamogga has limited direct trains and buses, so plan ahead to avoid last-minute rush.
✅ Check Vehicle Condition for Road Trips – If renting a bike or car for long-distance travel, ensure it’s in good condition and fuelled up.
✅ Avoid Driving at Night on Ghat Roads – Western Ghats roads are curvy and foggy, making night driving risky.
✅ Use Local Buses for Budget Travel – KSRTC buses are safe and affordable for city and intercity travel.
