Alternate roads to Bengaluru International Airport

Photoyogi - 28-MAY-2008

Dear friends,
Am reviving an old thread started by kbsyed61 http://praja.in/content/discuss/2008/03/roads-new-bangalore-international-airport - The reason is simple, Now that the Airport has commenced commercial operation There might be some new one-ways / re routes that we might have been forced into. Praja members who also know of some other "long" short-cuts to the already announced BCP's suggestions welcome to share routes here, Its always good to know by-pass routes in the event of blockage on main routes..

BMTC busses on the Tarmac

narayan82 - 27-MAY-2008

BMTC and Airindia SATS/Air Deccan have tied up at BIAL to ferry passengers in the Low Floor Red Volvos from the gates to the airplane. I don't get it! The volvos in the city are going packed, the frequency is less than what i can/should be - why can't these busses run on the road instead. To me these busses are a much needed addition to the existing public transport. For the 2 Min ride from the Gate to the Plane, we dont need to use this "fancy" bus! Or we can get a Sutlej or a Tata-Globus/eicher/swaraj mazda for the airport!

BMTC service to BIAL - personal observation

George E Matthew - 26-MAY-2008

On Sunday evening, I thought I would observe the BMTC service to BIAL (called BIAS-Bangalore International Airport Service) from Trinity Circle. I had no intention of traveling to the airport, -I just wanted to know how reliable and convenient the buses were.

[{Admin} - Most of us feel that this is the way, take each contentious issue in BIAL saga separately. Don't mix them all up like TOI/CityConnect's HAL campaign did. Let us watch Mr Kulkarni's challenge to BIAL Concession agreement]

BIAL - what's working and What's NOT

kbsyed61 - 24-MAY-2008

Guys,

Take the liberty of discussing what is working at BIAL and what is not working. Pls do discuss and respond to others but be mindful of others and pls maintain respect for others. Issue based and focus on issues. No attack on personalities.

Let's agree to disagree.

Thanks,

BIAL's soft opening - photos!
