Railways to run 2 daily trains to BIA airport

BANGALORE: South Western Railway has decided to run two daily passenger trains later this month from the City Railway Station to Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) terminating at Devanahalli.

Travellers thus have one more option to reach BIA apart from the Vayu Vajra bus service, private cars and taxis.

The rail service will cost Rs. 8, far cheaper than Vayu Vajra, which charges the present lowest, between Rs. 100 and Rs. 150. The new trains will be in addition to two existing passenger train services operated between the city and Chickaballapur. “The trains will be launched this month itself,” said Akhil Agarwal, Divisional Railway Manager, SWR, Bangalore Division.
