The best India apps to install for your stay in Mysore are as following:
India apps to Book Taxis
In India apps can be used to book cabs, autorickshaws, or bikes. Autos are cheaper than cabs. If you are alone and seeking a more affordable means of transportation, you can book bikes and ride as a pillion. Autos and cabs are comparatively safer than bikes.
Most cab drivers, especially in Mysore, prefer cash payment. Select the cash option in your taxi app or they may refuse your request. The following are the apps to have to book taxis/cabs/bikes:
- Uber: Uber works well in Mysore. You can book cabs and autos using the app.
- Ola: The local version of Uber. You can book cabs, autos and bikes using this app.
- Rapido: You can use this app to book bikes and autos. You cannot book cabs right now using Rapido
You can use Uber or Ola to book outstation cabs for travel to or from Bangalore Airport.
India apps for Food Delivery
You can use the following apps to get food delivered:
- Swiggy: You can use Swiggy to browse restaurants around and order from them. They usually charge a delivery charge for picking up the order for you.
- Zomato: Zomato also offers the same services like Swiggy. But Zomato also has a big community of reviewers who review restaurants. This is a great resource to figure out where and what to eat.
Package Delivery
You can use Swiggy‘s Swiggy Genie service to send and receive packages within Mysore.
Shop for Groceries
There are a lot of small independent groceries stores (locally called provision stores) from where you can buy your groceries. But you want a larger inventory, you can use
- Swiggy’s (I know, they do a lot of things) Instamart to get groceries delivered in 20 minutes (at least to Gokulam)
- Amazon Fresh: Works similar to Instamart but they have delivery slots which are usually a couple of hours after you place your order.
- Big Basket: This service has a bigger inventory than the other two. Some of them will be delivered the same day and some will be delivered in a few days.
