Bengaluru Metro Airport line | Pillar collapse to impact deadlines 

I assume they meant it would cost atleast 600(if you live closer to the airport), but I don't think I have ever gotten an airport cab that costs less than 1k.

Stay at jp Nagar the cab fare to airport was only 500 in 2009 and start up and down when ola , uber came in Bangalore . Till before the log down cab fare was less than 1k but now 😂😂 hope these will come down again to 500. if metro service till airport.

Last 18th. July 23 Air port to Jigani DLF cab fare was 1500.00 & on 31st.July Marathilly to Airports cab fare was 1100.00 it was too much.for me as a retire person.Hence metro should be completed in very fast.

😬

So true..

A lot more than 1000 actually

He probably lives in Yelahanka

I use KIA BMTC BUS Volvo vayu Vajra 245rs

It's the same with every city. All the new airports are being built outside the city premises. I don't buy the argument that it's too far from the city. Maybe 10 kms towards the city would have been desirable but it's fine. All Bangalore needs is metro and/or trains to the Airport. It will save time and money. Bus is also good but the problem is traffic.

Agree completely. Also, the airport cannot be closer due to several high rise projects along the way. Unfortunately, the hebbal-yelahanka line also has an elevated flyover which makes this redundant. It would have been good (and faster) if the metro could have been routed near Reva university/Hegde nagara from Nagawara. But as usual, a huge population will not have easy access to the metro. :(

Even this news brushed it off as a one liner in the end. I know these things happen sometimes, but you are absolutely right mate, no amount of money can expiate the loss which the family suffers. The average folks in India are just treated like collateral damage.

😅😅

says a bhikari who can't afford to stay in Bangalore. i stay in bangalore and airport is just 30km from central city. it takes 45 minutes to reach the airport. i tried reaching home from airport at 4.30am today.

It's something similar even in Hyderabad. All new airports have the same problem.

😂😂

He's cheap.

it's quite high for Tech freshers who earns 22-30k per month.

Mumbai flight costs just 2.6k That's less than ₹2/km. Now tell me the cost of cab?

Exactly it's like a person earning 2k complaining 5 star hotels are too expensive

In Delhi, one can reach the airport for around Rs 100 to 120 by metro.

The last time I paid around 600 was 5 or more years back.. That was also close to 700..

There are other places near to airport which is 600, native people like us who live around hebbal, Bel circle - we pay 600 to 700

Because of soil and boulders

No it won't cause, Bengaluru size will get stretch like Delhi and Cabs get needed.

I know it’s unfortunate that 100s of cab drivers will be out of jobs, but the metro will reduce the traffic on the roads. There will be less pollution, less heat on the roads. Metro will be faster and cheaper for everyone. Just because it is reducing a certain type of job can not justify the reason for not building it. There are several other ways to make a living in a city like Bangalore.

Do cabs in delhi go out of businesa

@@premprabhakar805 reduced to much extent and monopoly of cab drivers and auto walas ended with metro.

But there will also be hundreds of jobs to take care of metros lines, stations.

Yes you are right 👍

that's too early. 2040 pakka full line will be operational. Our kids will enjoy the airport line.

Careful. One local guy will come and call you outsider

@@01abhinavrajput STFU outsider

@@01abhinavrajput I am a local guy talking about the speed of metro work in Bangalore. TBH this work is making good progress compared to other metro lines.

@@Pradeep-ix6dj I'm a banglorean too, but bmrcl is too slow compared to Delhi metro

Bengaluru is freebie sector now

One station with an interchange between Purple line and Blue line

Metro will definitely be used, if not for airport purposes, then for non-airport travel by daily commuters, who stay in Yelahanka etc. Myself being one of them.

Give vote to congress again. Best of luck

It is not possible for a non-native speaker to pronounce correctly. Stop the nitpicking. Try and pronounce "Chicago' or "New York" like the natives and see how off you are.

​@@sowmitriswamy6718 if people from India go to US they will learn the pronunciations of mentioned cities. Stop being disrespectful.

@@supreeths6006 Only when they speak English. In their native tongue it will still be Noo Yorku, or chi-kago. My rejoinder was to the commentator who insisted that everybody should pronounce names as the natives do in their language.

You are right it's 100 years to go

Timings are not justified. And the distance from station to airport is another 5 kms. Who the hell will carry luggage to KSR bengaluru/Yeshwanthpur, board the airport train, get down, again carry luggage to shuttle bus, again get down and push luggage to the airport? They didn't think of constructing a branch line from existng bengaluru chikballapur line to airport via an underground line. Imagine how amazing that would be...They would have been able to introduce AC local trains like Mumbai to and fro bengaluru city with frequency of 10 to 15 minutes and price could be just around 80 to 100rs and reach city centre within 25 minutes. Couple this with another lower level metro system and pretty much no more complaints. Cabs would almost completely lose their businesses and we would have an airport as efficient as Zurich airport. But...(back to reality) it's "India" so let's just dream.

@@raghavadoregowda2191 ho jayega bhai... if distance and traffic really a problem... bangalore will surely have delhi airport express type train ( very hot, like bullet i must tell you)....

It was planned to be a greenfield airport which they have done successfully, an airport should never be near the city There is no way for it to expand Best examples-Mumbai and Chennai Demands will always increase but these airports are now fucked Somehow Mumbai is getting NAVI Mumbai airport but Chennai is fucked in pro mode

Airport is essentially outside the city

@@shiskeyoffles Delhi airport is 35 kms from city centre, Bangalore airport is 45 kms. Cant be an excuse

Delhi is getting it's second airport at Noida which is around 80 kms from the city center and around more than 100 kns from the current airport but the two airports will be connected together by the metro and an expressway before this airport even becomes operational.

@@shiskeyoffles Even on the 1st phase, Chennai metro is supposed to connect all of Major railway terminus, Bus terminus and Airport...Just like Delhi, Chennai's proposed 2nd airport(Nearly 80kms away from City) to get a metro connection shortly before it's operation...In that case, Bangalore airport has been functioning for a long term and why can't they build a line connecting it, If it doesn't connect with the airport then what is the purpose of having a metro

@@mohitjain2192 Same with Chennai too...

Till 2040 no metro

No development no funds

Intern project 😜

Next joke what about Mumtaz begum and TMC full of antinationals

@@adarsh.m1999 ur papa’s best frend already got caught on fraud in share market..

@@prasenjittripura4691 lol ur mother (Mumtaz begum)herself got caught with #kangladeshi illegal immigrants...

Bangalore is dead , there will be a movie once upon a time in Bangalore

But immigrants keep comming

Train is slow...and halt at many stoppages... bus, taxi and metro too fast

Dumb... He ain't a corporate guy like you. He's working in NGO. Use your head before questioning anyone.

Exactly. Here in Hyderabad, Airport is Far away from the city and Volvo Buses have cost 260 which is obviously cheaper option compared to cab which charges a person 500-700 depending upon the time. Sometimes it shots up suddenly.

260 for 45 Kilometre is 5 Rs per kilometre Flight Delhi which is 1700 Km by air costs less than 7K
