Panaji is connected with the state of Karnataka to the south and Maharashtra to the north by winding highways.
A wide range of busses are available. The non air-conditioned, state transport bus, that though cheap is an interesting way to travel, if you dont mind the discomfort of a rattling bus body, ridgid seats, over crowding and stopping at umpteen villages and bus depots along the route. You could also take a reserved ticket, which assures you of a seat, though is no protection against over crowding. Locals usually share seats. The state transport corporations, also have semi luxury and luxury busses. Luxury meaning the seats are padded and recline.
The major state transport corporations operating in Goa are the Kadamba Transport Corporation (KTC), from Goa, Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), from Maharashtra, and the Karnataka State Road Transport from Karnataka. All the state transport busses, usually begin and terminate at the Kadamba bus stand at Panaji. Bookings, time tables etc. can be had here.
Dozens of semi luxury and luxury busses also connect Panaji with Mumbai, Pune, Mangalore, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. A relatively comfortable option is the Air conditioned Volvo coaches that operate towards the later hours. Find out prices before you purchase a ticket, as it is not uncommon to find that your neighbour on the bus has paid a much higher or lower price for the ticket. Many travel agents have their offices in the building adjacent to the Kadamba bus stand.
A famous romantic Bollywood film "Bombay to Goa" starring the Indian super star Amitabh Bachchan, was based on this bus journey.
All private busses leave from the bus stand at the beginning of the Mandovi bridge. Bus departures start daily from 4:00 pm and go on till almost 10:00 p.m. when the last Volvo coaches leave.
On the first floor of the KTC Bus stand at Panaji is the Konkan Railway ticketing office, you can make or cancel all Indian Railway tickets here. A Rs. 10/- service fee is levied on each transaction, which is well worth it, as it saves you making a trip to Karmali, Thivim or Madgaon station to do ticketing work. The ticketing office is Air conditioned, has seats, and issues tokens, so you dont have to stand in a queue awaiting your turn. The counter is open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on week days.
