@BLRAirport opened in 2008 and was slated to cater to 8-10 million pax at start , which quickly doubled to 20million for which the terminal was quickly expanded and now in 2020 - 12 years after opening is projected to cater to 95Million pax !
@BLRAirport Wonder how will the 95 Million project pax reach airport??
By road ??- via the Hebbal bottleneck.
city administration @BBMPCOMM @BBMP_MAYOR @CMofKarnataka @BSYBJP has a plan to plan ahead to meet this need.
Right now Airport is accessible by a Six Lane Expressway from Hebbal.
@BLRAirport Bulk of the travelers reach airport by Private Cars or Taxis through Hebbal .

Alternate roads to Airport - Via hennur/Thanisandra & Hoskote has its own set of issues - Safety and incomplete sections of the road riddled with potholes and lack of streetlighting.
@BLRAirport BMTC operates a clutch airport express- #VayuVajra to the airport from several areas of the city & is the only Public Transport option available to travelers.
This service is mostly preferred by Single pax during the day with very little luggage.
@BLRAirport Its a shame on successive gov of Karnataka of the last 10 years led by @BSYBJP @DVSadanandGowda @JagadishShettar @siddaramaiah @hd_kumaraswamy of @BJP4Karnataka @INCKarnataka @JanataDal_S who have failed to build a Airport express Metro line from the city to the airport.
Airport metro connectivity from the city wud have made the ride a pleasant experience minus the traffic jams.
Unfortunately the airport metro line won’t even be operational by the time second terminal is ready !
Pax need to suffer commuting for hours of choked roads
Running a dedicated train on existing infra - rail tracks wud have been the quickest way to provide mass transport connectivity to the airport .

Finally a airport halt station is being done.
Needs more trains for it to become a reliable alternative to track @BLRAirport
