For the smooth commute between Bengaluru and Bengaluru airport, the South Western Railway has decided to improve the train services for the trains passing Kempegowda International Airport Railway Station, reported news agency ANI.
According to the report, a notification was issued in which the schedule of trains that pass through Kempegowda International Airport Railway Station was revised. Apart from the airport commuters, these services are also believed to benefit the employees working in the airport and the people residing in the surrounding areas of the airport.
Speaking with ANI, Shyam Singh, divisional railway manager, Bengaluru Division said, “Our highest priority is keeping these trains punctual and serving the air travellers who choose trains to commute to the airport. A delay has been observed in recent times in services to the airport railway station and that was due to ongoing safety-related works between Yelahanka and Devanahalli.”
