Bangalore to Chennai - From Hosur

Travelling on long weekends becomes extremely difficult if you do not have a ticket reserved well in advance. I have earlier blogged on travelling from Bangalore to Chennai & from Chennai to Bangalore during normal occasions in Unreserved buses. But, the situation is completely different on long week-ends or during festival seasons. This long weekend (Easter), i had to go to Hosur and get a bus for Chennai. I was surprised to see the frequency of buses for chennai from Hosur - It is really very high. Lemme share some info about Hosur now. Hosur is located in Tamil Nadu in close proximity to Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. It is one of the main entry/exit point to Bangalore. It is one of the industrial hubs in Tamil Nadu bordering Karnataka. Apart from climate, the nearness to Bangalore has also helped in Hosur's development. I did find lot of buses to Vellore that has very very high frequency of buses to Chennai . Vellore is one of the main cities that lies between Chennai and Bangalore. It is on the banks of the Palar river. So, if you do not find Chennai with vacant seats even in Hosur, then catch on a bus to Vellore. In Vellore, you can get Chennai buses with vacant seats. Vellore also operates buses that that start from Vellore and depart to Chennai round the clock !

Hosur seems to be one of the best alternative places to get buses to Chennai quickly if you have not reserved tickets for your travel to Chennai from Bangalore. Happy Journey !!
