Bengaluru: A dedicated railway link to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) can be a reality in three months, spending less than Rs. 100 crore.
If this sounds fantastic, consider this: The Yelahanka-Channasandra track has been doubled and electrified. Extend that to Baiyappahanalli, add a halt station under Trumpet Flyover near KIA and kickstart a dedicated train!
Is this more workable or a Namma Metro connection from Nagawara that could take at least 10 years and hundreds of crores to complete? A reality check by Deccan Herald offered the clinching evidence that a railway link could be easily activated, and at a fraction of the money that the government wants to invest on a KIA metro link.
