Have you been using Meru or Easy Cabs services to get to and from Bangalore International Airport? Not too keen on commuting by those Red Volvo buses? For starters, the Volvo buses are a good option and the least expensive mode of commuting. I had refrained from using the bus service until recently. Then in a jiffy, I hopped onto one and was totally thrilled because one it was convenient, not time consuming at all and two, didn't put a hole in my pocket for the great service. alright, to be fair, you would have to spend atleast 25-50% extra time on the bus then you would in a taxi. But that's the price you pay for saving money. Here are some other options such as shared taxis you can consider for commuting to and from the airport.
