A train that takes you to Bengaluru airport in 90 min for just 15 rupees 

Yes . That's the fact

so we can't rely on this

looking at your comment , if the train is delayed then the flight is gone

@@sameerdontulwar9429 Yes. I started well in advance for the flight.

When compared to other mode of transport, very very cheaper. We have to adjust or catch the train early. Traffic jam comes what how will reach Airport.

Yeah , that won't work, travel the previous night and sleep at airport😂

@@Naveen72927 sir that is what iam trying to convey, they should do early morning service and bring clean and hygienic interiored trains. The reason for poor patronage is the reason that people don't find trains at their available time.

​@@Naveen72927😂

​@@Naveen72927😂😂😂 I am busted bro

From Chennai though I am visiting Bengaluru from 1972, I didn't know that train facilities are available. Thanks for your information. Can I go to Bengaluru airport from cantonment railway station?

Metro to Airport will be ready operational by 2030

Don’t worry karnataka will ensure low hanging fruits become very high hanging fruits, there must be so many corrupt politicians who benefit by road traffic that train service will be back burnered again and again

@@climbeverest Yes in Bangalore many politicians have their own Transport businesses

Few years more,it would be a lot better by metro than train.

Hm, a few is undefined

There is one from Hellalige to ypr or sbc or reach hebbal n get bus from there but frequency of train is very less. Hellalige is 2km from chandapura bus stop

yes, want one from e-city

As Kolkata suburban rider metro is far superior

You can make use of where is my train app.

​@@KiranG1994What sense does it make for an early flight or a late flight passengers when there's only one train at one time in a day...

​@@manjunathmnmexactly

@@manjunathmnm you can use volvo bus to make it sense

​@@manjunathmnmthere 6-7 trains runs multiple times..

It's a chicken and egg problem..so govt has to increase the frequency and also arwarnes

Actually, it is other way round. People would like to see more trains and reliable.

Mumbai & Kolkata too

Those can’t be compared with Delhi metro. Delhi metro network is just crazy good. Serves two airport terminals.

​@@anand.chaudhari 3 terminals with the shuttle service

screw hosur, hosur is not Karnataka. why should Bengaluru do anything for your pathetic City? go ask your state tamilnadu for your grievances.

it will have to be accommodated on existing tracks that are handling high frequency freight and passenger traffic from 4 directions (MAS, MYS, North and Carmelaram lines). A dedicated suburban railway infra is being built exactly for this reason that the intercity traffic is not hindering with 15-minute frequency commuter rail.

(1) Also enough publicity should be given and (2) frequency should be increased.

Agreed. this comment is much better than the news report.

Exactly

Very Well said !!

Mega station Railway or Bus....?

Uday Shetty

Can u give timing please?

Much needed . But Politicians, bureaucrats & Municipal Officials who do their work with thought for the welfare + convenience of the average working class are a rare breed . They service the Business class who fund their political activities & vested interests. Plus their priority are the low / no income strata that's the largest voting mass in India. That's one of the top reasons why India continues lack in such infra .

HOT and Dry. Strange that this is coming from a MAA guy.

MAA ? Can you elaborate please.

@@PRITAM_KUMAR_RAUT MAA is (Airport code of)Madras. It is infamous for being very hot and humid and dry and muggy weather.

@@MrAnshulji MAA is HOT and SWEET!Please don’t impose your muggy thoughts!

@@MrAnshulji Madras! Chennai na?

this ... people prefer point-to-point journey which is not offered by KIA rail service.

This is vlogging

Accha to kya karu

where did u start from? Whitefield to KIAB can be covered in 3 hours prior to flight departure with ample time for luggage and security check-in. you can also leverage the Digiyatra app to bypass longer queues at the airport as there are separate entry gates for app users.

man a better way in my opinion is metro is the way to go, from most parts of the city u can get to majestic and from there you can comfortably take a volvo, it takes more time but u are in an air conditioned metro thats fast and quite fun and then you shift to buses coming very frequently to it so u are guarenteed a seat in the volvo to the airport, its so comfy, nice and cold and convinient. much much better than paying 2k for a cab, with the 2k i can just have a nice weekend outing alone 🃏

@@aryanram02good option, except your "most parts of the city" are currently very limited. Entire Bangalore East IT corridor is still waiting for the KIA metro line eagerly.

Maybe a timetable too would help passengers to and fro ..at appropriate timings ...now flight has become more conjested than trains and it would be affordable to the middle class where toll is heavy and as also the taxi or Volvo fare...it shd start st vantage points,say Hebbal,yelahanks Whitefield ,K r puram Byappanhalli,electronic city....The other day I was told it took Volvo bus nearly 2 hrs from electronic city to near Yhka...then what time do we leave home for a flight...I think airport authority shd think of connecting other cities to all metro cities by flight...say shimoga,mysore etc to Delhi,madras,Hyderabad, Calcutta etc...Anyway good info...rkwys shd look into the maintenance of such trains to benefit more passengers.

true. some more factors that Mr. Dugar didnt point out in the video- 1. The train takes a longer route to the airport. Majestic to KIA via Channasandra and Rajanukunte is an S-shaped route rather than a straight line. This increases travel time unnecessarily as compared to road. 2. Yelahanka onwards, the route till KIA is single-line and not suited for higher speed. So the frequency of trains cannot be increased beyond a certain limit. 3. The connectivity is not point-to-point. Best case also passengers will need to change from train to shuttle. Counting a transit from home to station, station to KIA, KIA halt to Airport makes it a three-legged journey which people do not prefer. The IT crowd in the city is well-earning and would prefer convenience over cost. A person who shelled out upwards of 5k for a flight ticket can easily pay 1000 for a point-to-point cab which saves time and effort. 4. People travelling with a family will prefer the convenience of cab over the hassle of bus. Handling kids, extra luggage and changing transport twice is not preferred by them. There is a reason more and more airport cab services are coming up and thriving. With the introduction of electric cabs on the route, the journey has become faster, quiter, smoother and overall more pleasant.

i would rather pay 250 to the volvo buses. i know theyre on time, the freq is super flexible so i can get there in time, whats the point of a trian that reaches at 10 if my flight is at 8 or 12? thats 2 hours of waiting, instead i can go in ac in a volvo bus and wait in the airport lounges lol this connection makes sense only for the employees currently

@@aryanram02 exactly. I don't mind paying 100rs for the train either. Provided it is accessible and reliable.

@@sahilalitonse7053 agreed, the frequency is bad, comfort is not too big of an issue, a chill train ride is something im always welcome to. plus trains are so calm! there are no honking noises like the traffic, no frustration on the tracks and they are so gentle and whisk you away. the nice train breeze is awesome too, trains are much better when done right. i hope they focus on these instead of building another flyover by blocking traffic just so that within 1 -2 years that flyover is also jammed :(

They still in 1980s where Majestic was centre of transportation in Bangalore. They must start from Baiyappanahalli or KR puram.

Well said.

Route of this train are not well planned

This is not exactly a suburban railway service, as Bengaluru still doesn't have it's own dedicated suburban railway system.

I am from Chennai. I agree with you. Seen many passengers traveling by Metro from and to Madras Airport. Chennai airport.

Brother, Delhi has metro directly connected to its airports. There is no traffic issue at all.

B'lore has a long way to go whr commute to any point is concerned. Mostly for working ppl thr is a high dependency on autos & pre-paid cabs . Among these two, autos are the worst. They don't ply by the meter & charge arbit high amounts . And if a person takes a bike / Uber moto then auto drivers threaten & harass the bike drivers . Reason --- Ktka Govt is in discussion with Auto Union for their demand to minimize pre-paid cab service & most likely stop bike service. Bike service is a life line for many working ppl to avoid the unreliable Auto rickshaws.

Correct

Did you take reserved or unreserved?

the competitor of this train is a vayu vajra fully air conditioned volvo bus that is reliable wrt timing and whisks you away to airport for 250. it might take longer some times but throughout the way is AC and comfortable so a longer time isnt too bad imo

Correct Sir you're Talking the Dedicated Airport Line. From where you can Directly Reach to Terminal 2

Almost one by one abandoned Railway lines in Europe are coming back to life with Railway Transport getting popular

Please be aware there is an app from Indian railways for unreserved booking - UTS is the name. IRCTC only provides reserved booking. NTES national train enquiry system is the app for tracking trains. And these existed since many years.
