The South Western Railway (SWR) is hoping that an increase in the frequency and fixed times for trains to Bengaluru International Airport will make the new train services introduced on Friday more popular than it was in 2021, when the services to the airport had to be scrapped after four months due to abysmal ridership amid the Covid crisis.
The South Western Railway has announced the operation of five Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) trains from KSR Bengaluru/Bengaluru Cantonment railway stations to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) from Friday at a maximum cost of Rs 35.
