We study a bosonic ladder with two coupled chains using the finite size density matrix renormalisation group method. We show that in a commensurate bosonic ladder the critical on-site interaction (UC) for the superfluid to Mott insulator transition becomes larger as the inter-chain hopping (t_\bot)increases. We analyze this quantum phase transition and obtain the phase diagram in the t_\bot -U plane.
