[[Mangalore]]'s location in the [[India]]n state of [[Karnataka]] makes it accessible by all forms of transport: road, rail, air and sea. It is the largest city in the [[Coastal Karnataka]] region, and is the only city in [[Karnataka]] and one among the six cities in [[India]] to have an International Airport, a Major Seaport, railway & road connectivities. It is the second prominent city of [[Karnataka]] after the state capital [[Bangalore]] in all aspects. It is one of the fastest developing cities in [[India]].

==Local public transport==
{{Main|Mangalore City Bus routes}}
[[File:Mangalore Rickshaw.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A typical Mangalore [[Autorickshaw]]]]
Even though [[Mangalore]]'s city bus service is dominated by private operators such as [[Dakshina Kannada Bus Operators' Association|DKBOA]], with routes covering the full extent of the city and beyond, in recent days [[Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation]] is plying buses in multiple routes. There are two distinct sets of routes for the buses, with the city routes being covered by city buses, and the intercity routes being covered by service and express buses. There are also KSRTC [[Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission|JnNurm]] green colour city buses from [[Statebank, Mangalore|State Bank]] bus stand.<ref>{{cite news

However the frequency of service buses are extremely low. Express buses reach their destination with very limited stops in between. A list of bus routes inside Mangalore can be found [[Mangalore City Bus routes|here]].

Another mode for local transportation is the [[autorickshaw]]. The minimum cost charged by an autorickshaw up to 2 km is Rs 25. Meters are introduced in all autorickshaws plying inside the city and the suburbs. But most of the rickshaw drivers does not charge according to meter. However charges are 1.5 times the displayed reading between 10 pm and 5 am.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.daijiworld.com/news/newsDisplay.aspx?newsID=679091|title=Mangaluru: Auto-rickshaw fare revised - Minimum charge Rs 30|date=28 February 2020|newspaper=Daijiworld|author=Spoorthi Ullal}}</ref> Taxi services in Mangalore are provided by [[Ola Cabs]] and [[Uber]], whose services extend to the Mangalore International Airport.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=372975|title=Uber launches operations in Mangaluru|date=18 December 2015|access-date=6 October 2016|newspaper=Daijiworld}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Mangalore/get-a-cab-on-call-ola-launches-service-in-mangaluru/article6966575.ece|title=Get a cab on call, Ola launches service in Mangaluru|author=Anil Kumar Sastry|date=6 March 2015|newspaper=The Hindu|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X|access-date=6 October 2016}}</ref> Motorcycle rental providers have also begun offering transport services in the city.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://social.techcrunch.com/2020/01/22/indian-bike-rental-startup-bounce-raises-105m/|title=Indian bike rental startup Bounce raises $105M|last=Singh|first=Manisha|date=23 January 2020|website=TechCrunch|language=|access-date=}}</ref>

== Long distance bus routes ==
[[Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation]] (KSRTC) runs the long distance bus services from Mangalore to other parts of the state. The [[Mangalore]]-[[Bangalore]] route is the most lucrative route and is equally served by public & private players.

The longest bus route served is the [[Mangalore]] - [[Ankola]]- [[Hubli]]- [[Belgaum]]- [[Pune]]- [[Mumbai]] bus route run by a number of private players and KSRTC. The journey is about 22 hours by normal buses & 16 hours by [[Volvo Buses]].

Many private companies based out of [[Mangalore]], [[Udupi]], [[Bangalore]] also ply multiple buses between [[Mangalore]] and other cities on daily basis. Ganesh Travels, SRS Travels, Ideal Travels, Sugama Tourists, Durgamba Motors, VRL, being the popular operators. These operators provide services in different categories such as [[Air conditioning|A/C]] Volvo Bus, Sleeper, Seater etc. There will be a huge hike in number of passengers during the festive seasons such as [[Mangalore Dasara]], [[Diwali]], [[Ganesh Chaturthi]], [[Christmas]] which will also result in hike in bus fares unlike the KSRTC buses.

When India gained independence, Mangalore was not connected to Mumbai by rail. The railway network established before independence terminated at Mangalore. Since then there had been a strong need to connect Mangalore to Mumbai and hence the [[Konkan Railway]] came into being. The project was completed in 1998 and since then the travel time to the north of the country has come down considerably and provides a convenient alternative for passengers.

Mangalore has direct trains to [[Chennai]], [[Trivandrum]], [[Kochi]], [[Kollam|Kollam(Quilon)]], [[Coimbatore]], [[Hyderabad]], [[Pondicherry|Puducherry]],((Thane))[[Nagercoil]] through the [[Southern Railway (India)|Southern Railway]]<ref>{{cite web
