Dabolim Airport is located on the coast and is accessible by modern air-conditioned airport buses and a large number of taxis.
Public transport - buses
A special airport bus service runs directly outside the terminal.
Tickets can be purchased from the "Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited" kiosk outside the arrivals hall. If the kiosk is closed, tickets can be purchased from the driver in cash.
However, buses only run 4 times a day.

There are local buses stopping on the highway in front of the airport, mainly on the Vasco - Birla - Margao route, but there are no timetables or marked stops and the journey is very confusing this way.
One ride on a local bus costs 30 inr.
Taxi
Ignore any offers from taxi drivers who approach you in the terminal and head to the official counters after you leave the airport building to prepay for a ride.
Local taxi apps are also available:
- Goa Miles - Google Play / App Store
- Goa Taxi - Google Play / App Store
Prices are similar for apps and regular taxis and range in approximate amounts:
- 1 200 inr - Calangute, Baga
- 1 000 inr - Panaji
- 1 200 inr - Beaches around Madgaon / Margao
- 2 200 inr - Goa Manohar Airport
Uber also operates in Goa, but only with expensive premium cars.
About 1 km from the airport is the "Dabolim" railway station, from where you can take the train virtually all over India (with one or more changes).
