Bangalore is a diverse, metropolitan city. I would say it’s fairly safe, particularly during the day. We have women-only compartments in the metro and women-only seats in public buses. During the night, there is vibrant pub culture but it’s better to stay vigilant, especially if you’re alone.

Pretty much safe in my experience, I have walked alone at 12, 1, 2, 3 AM (for short distances, after being dropped off like 200m away from my place). I've never experienced any problems with public transport as well.
Posted: July 13, 2025Bangalore has felt safer for women as compared to other cities. It has good public transport system and helpful people mostly. It has specific airport cabs for women which are driven by women as well and travelling alone in Bangalore has been a delightful experience. The traffic is extreme though.

It’s okay, a lot better than other Indian cities. But I have been groped and leered at a lot. If you’re a woman out there, you will get stared at and it’s really uncomfortable. I feel like I’m constantly vigilant, but also feel so low because I feel intensely objectified

Posted: July 6, 2025Actually, India is not the safest space especially for girls. - Because of the culture it is not so common for a girl to wear a short dress (don’t open shoulders and knees) - Also, it has awful traffic and it is dangerous to cross the road sometimes so do it carefully - The food is spicy so take some pills with you if you don’t used to spicy food
