should avoid public transport . Opt for cabs instead – Meru Cabs and Easy Cabs operate across the city . Also , avoid walking alone on lonely stretches or dark streets late at night . �Do not leave your bags unattended . Pick-pockets and bag snatchers are known to operate in crowded places like bus stands and on buses too . �Do not head to restaurants without making dinner reservations , especially on weekends . Most lounge bars and restaurants take table bookings . �Do not use unauthorised cabs to ride into the city from the Bengaluru International Airport , even if taxi touts try to court you at the airport . Use only ' airport authorised ' taxi services , which include Easy Cabs , Meru Cabs and KSTDC . The ' Airport Taxi ' signage installed at the baggage claim areas will point you in the direction .
