Bangalore Central MP demands airport train every 30 mins during morning rush hour

Bangalore Central MP, P.C. Mohan, has requested the South Western Railway (SWR) to increase the frequency of MEMU trains to the Kempegowda International Airport Halt station. He suggests running these trains from Baiyappanahalli every 30 minutes between 5 am and 8 am, coinciding with airport peak hours. This would provide a...

cost-effective alternative to cabs, which are often more expensive than flights. Mohan also emphasizes that this service would benefit from metro connectivity at Baiyappanahalli. Activists have also advocated for train services to the airport from Whitefield, Anekal Road, Bangarpet, Ramanagar, and Tumakuru. However, a senior SWR official clarified that the MEMU train services to the airport are determined by the zonal headquarters in Hubballi, and the Bengaluru railway division has limited influence.

Bangalore Central ke MP, P.C. Mohan ne South Western Railway (SWR) se Kempegowda International Airport Halt station tak MEMU trains ki frequency badhane ka request kiya hai. Unhone suggest kiya hai ki in trains ko Baiyappanahalli se har 30 minute mein subah 5 se 8 baje tak chalaya jaaye, airport ke...

peak hours ke saath match karke. Ye cab ki jagah ek budget-friendly option provide karega, jo aajkal flights se bhi expensive ho rahe hai. Mohan ne yeh bhi highlight kiya ki is service ka Baiyappanahalli mein metro connectivity se bhi faida hoga. Activists ne bhi Whitefield, Anekal Road, Bangarpet, Ramanagar, aur Tumakuru se airport tak trains chalane ki support ki hai. Lekin, SWR ke ek senior official ne bataya ki airport tak MEMU train services ka decision Hubballi mein zonal headquarters leta hai, aur Bengaluru railway division ka ismein kam control hai.

Agree Agree Agree
There should be 3 routes with hourly frequency from Kengeri Via City station, YPR second from B Cantt Via BYPL and third from Whitefield to Aiport then you can expect occupancy. Regarding financial viability with the fares of passenger trains they will be a burden to SWR atleast charge Express fare.

Agree
If 4 to 6 sets of 4 coach trains are specifically alloted to airport connectivity, this can be done.
There should be an hourly train from WFD, BNC and SBC round the clock. Schedule should be adjusted in such a way that every 30 minutes, there will be a train from YNK to airport.
For example,
SBC 0600...
more...
YPR 0615 YNK 0645 KIAL 0715.
Next BNC 0630 YNK 0715 KIAL 0745
Next WFD 0615 KJM 0700 YNK 0745 KIAL 0815.
Same way, every 30 minutes, a train to YNK and then they go towards SBC/ WFD/ BNC alternately.
Cycle continues.
So, you have a train every 1 hour from SBC/ BNC/ WFD and once in 30 minutes from YNK.

    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...
