Connectivity woes cloud KIA T2 convenience quotient
Last week, amid traffic restrictions and diversions enforced in connection with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Kempegowda international airport (KIA), one question which defined the passenger mood was: how do I get there?
The question on the alternative road is familiar, with no real answer in the making: a discussion point since the 2008 inception of the airport, located about 35 km from the city.
That the question was in circulation on a day the PM inaugurated the airport’s second terminal – estimated to add 25 million passengers a year – should bring in some urgency, but this is Bengaluru, where plans do not always precede the problem.
