Note that since the     entire programme is in Bangalore, foreign participants     may fly directly to Bangalore (without passing through     Mumbai).       Foreign participants will be picked up from the airport     in vehicles arranged by NCBS. If for some reason you     miss the pick-up, take a pre-paid taxi from the airport     to NCBS (or to the TIFR-CAM Guest House if you are     staying there).         Local participants arriving by train should get off at     Bangalore Cantonment station.     Local participants are requested to take autorickshaws     or taxis from the train station or airport to NCBS.          All participants are requested to share vehicles if possible,     and to keep any receipts for eventual reimbursement of     the fare.          A map of the region around NCBS is in the `CONTACT'     section.  It also has directions to get to NCBS. It would     probably be a good idea to carry a copy of this with you.             NCBS shuttle timings are here.
