I was having busy schedule this time, hardly I could spare time to visit city except one day evening when we three visited SP Road for a computer hardware. But the New airport which I saw last time was just beginning . But this time what I saw was in real shape. Coming out from the Airport I found Taxis and Volvo buses are waiting for the passengers to board for different destinations of the city. After much hesitation I too took a Volvo for my destination.
In Bangalore, there is no Yellow Taxis like Mumbai or Kolkata and other cities. Taxis services in Bangalore, all are Luxery A/C taxis like Meru Taxi, City Cabs, RR Cabs, Mega Cabs etc etc. This concept of Radio Taxi, is slowly coming up in Kolkata too. In Kolkata there are services of Radio Taxis over the phones like Mega cabs, Kolkata Cabs etc.
Volvo Buses running from Airport to all corners of the city and passengers are availing the services because the fare of Volvo is cheaper compared to Cabs. Perhaps the services are available throughout night. When I was going to Airport at 0330AM, the buses were plying towards Airport.
Since Airport passengers generally come with huge luggage, the Volvo buses also have been designed to cater this requirement. The half of the bus in the front side, near to gate, having no seating arrangements instead that portion is fitted with huge racks to accommodate huge suitcases, luggage so that passengers can move with their luggage.
While on return journey I booked a taxi at 0330AM as my flight was at 0605AM. It was heavily raining that time, but Taxi fellow reported in time and took me to airport in 35 Minutes from Benson Town.
