Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I took a car from Mysore to Bangalore and the driver started falling asleep 15 minutes into the trip. I had to force feed him chai and American chocolate, and talk non-stop for the next four hours. I wish I had taken the train. I had been told that the drivers aren't regulated and many book back-to-back trips to make extra money. My driver had already been to Bangalore once that day . . . --- amanda houle <whyqqqqq wrote: > the first time I went to Mysore, I was alone and > arrived at about 1am > (I think). > As soon as you come out of the baggage claim and > before you exit the > airport, you can book > a pre-paid taxi.
