If you're traveling with Family, Cab is the best option. There are packages worth 2500- 3500 depending upon Car available at Bhubaneswar. In some 3500 packages you'll find the option to visit Sun Temple at Konark as well. Plus you'll have the option for taking slight detour to visit the Lingaraj Temple during your return.

Some Flyover under construction, there was Traffic diversion while entering Puri City.
If you add the Bus Tickets and Tempo Charges to reach Puri and Cab charges to reach Master Canteen Junction, you're spending amount almost equal to hiring entire Cab without the comfort.
For single travelers like me, Bus is the preferred option considering price benefit ratio. Although I did had the luxury of traveling with my Office Colleague in his Car.
