From Londa there are number of buses to Panjim and Ponda..My last journey to Goa was way back in 2001, so not too sure regarding the bus and taxi fares....Not sure regarding the place palolem...I assume that the place must be close Ponda or Madgaon...So according to me u have to go to Madgaon or Ponda first..please confirm ...I dont think there would be a direct bus to Palolem from Londa(In earlier days(till 2001) buses used to come from Belgaun there were no direct buses from Londa)...From Londa to Ponda its close to 4 hrs of journey by bus...The route what I remember is Londa-->Anamod ghat---->,dhoodhsagar -->molem--->Ponda.-->Panjim..

I got a mail notification about a posting from steven_ber but I don't see it at indiamike!! Anyways, here's the message from steven_ber:

"I fear you'll get exactly the info you ask for.

I beleive Londa is a tiny place, and Palolem isn't an important place in Goa, so there would be no reason for buses to ply between the 2, So maybe your question should have just been, "will there be taxi's in Londa, and will they be allowed to go into Goa (to Palolem), and what would the fare be?"

You don't allow for any other info to be offered as you give no details.

I'm guessing you're arriving in Londa on a train, what train, what time, what day of the week?"

Thanks for responding with the info through I provided few details.

. You guessed right - we are taking a train to Londa from Blr. We'll be arriving at Londa on a Saturday at about 7.30 AM (unfortunately there's no train to Madgaon on that day). Will we be able to get a taxi to take us to Palolem and what would the fare be?

Well You will be able to get the taxy from Londa for sure.Taxies go to any part of Goa from Londa.I used to take taxy from Londa to valpoi Goa.In that time(prior to 2001)Goa express(2780,H nizamuddin -Hubli, nowadays Vasco)reach the Londa station at 3 am.From 6am or 6:30 onwards there were buses from londa to Panjim.As Whoami said they will be reaching at 7:30am,at that time you can easily get a taxi to palolim.No idea regarding the fare.If you have time then you can take a bus to Ponda or Madgaon.From there you can go by taxi.All the buses from Londa(I dont think there are direct buses from Londa,but those coming from Belgaun) to Goa(mainly Panjim and Madgaon) go via Ponda.So Ponda will come in any case whether going by taxi or bus.

On Saturdays train 7311 Chennai - Vasco leaves Londa at 08:20 and 2848 Howrah - Vasco leaves at 11:10, they arrive Madgaon 11:50 and 13:43 respectively.
Train KR1 leaves Madgaon at 14:25 and arrives in Canacona at 14:58 for a richshaw to Palolem.
Easy, and not a bumby uncomfortable bus ride in sight. All for RS43 plus the rickshaw fare.
