As Railways as well as BMTC are not interested in connecting city with airport, we have reached this condition.
More travellers to airport means more Ola Uber and so more toll charges. More passengers means more income for white elephant BMTC Vayu Vajra buses.
But more traffic on the road means more mega jams on the roads. But who cares 🤔???

More income to Ola Uber BMTC and other taxi services. People are expected to pay 1500 or more for travel from/ to airport, whereas air fare for many destination are around 2500 to 3000. 🤔

SWR will run airport trains according to their convenience, from whichever station they feel like. With zero punctuality. Still expecting patronage of such a useless arrangement is too much.

Learn from Chennai how to seamlessly connect airport, railway stations and bus stand.

One can travel without any hassle between Koyambedu bus stand, Central station and Egmore station to airport in metro.

local trains from Arakkonam and Gummidipundi side to Central and Beach Tambaram lines do wonders.

On my visit to Chennai I noticed both railway station and Metro station in close vicinity of Airport. Bangalore which is notoriously famous for traffic and its airport which is in different place. A popular meme that runs is u can reach faster in flight to any other city from airport than reach main city from Bangalore airport

Chennai Airport has metro station directly connected to airport terminals with walkalator etc. Opposite is Tirusulam local railway station. In front of airport one corner you have 2 city bus stops. Other side of the road you have TNSTC buses originating from airport to Trichy, Villupuram etc.
What do we have in Bangalore airport? AC buses to city. Hourly AC buses to Mysore. That's all. Why not normal regular Non AC Karnataka Sarige buses to any other part of Karnataka/ neighbouring AP TN (Hosur, Salem, Anantapur, Tirupati, Chikkaballapura, Doddaballapura, Tumkur, Hassan, Chitradurga, Davanagere etc).

getting down at Bangalore airport will take hours to reach bus stand or railway station to catch bus/ train to his destination. 🤔

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
