AdvertisingNamma Metro’s airport corridor was earlier designed to be from Gottigere to Kempegowda International Airport via Nagawara. The revised route now forces commuters to reach KR Puram or any other station from among the 17 new ones to be built to reach the airport. “The airport line which was planned earlier from Gottigere-Nagawara to the terminal would have faced further delays as that line was planned to be underground. The BMRCL also plans to run trains at an average speed of 60 kmph on the airport route to cut down travel time. The revised route will have 17 stations, in place of the seven planned on the Nagawara-KIA route.
