You can get bus to Rishikesh from Interstate Bus Terminal. Most buses ply to Hardwar only but a few go to Rishikesh. So better to check with driver or conductor before you board the bus.

The bus which we boarded around 4:30pm reached Rishikesh around 11pm.!! It had number of stops and a wait of about 40mnts in a place for dinner/refreshments!

There are buses mostly night buses that can take you from Rishikesh to Chandigarh.Ofcourse there are number of taxis available.

Head to Inter State Bus Terminus near Kashmere Gate. You will find ample buses going to Hardwar and Rishikesh from here. It takes around 5-6 hours. I am not sure if you will find nice and clean air conditioned buses. Last year, I came across this website that offered bus service to Hardwar and Dehradun (I guess they plan to introduce bus service to Rishikesh shortly.)I haven't availed their service.
http://www.luxurybusesindia.com/ This is an online bus seat booking website for Himachal, UP, Rajasthan
You will get ample taxi/cabs from Rishikesh to Chandigarh.
