BENGALURU: The euphoria over train connectivity to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) for prices as low as Rs 10 to Rs 15 and the massive buzz it generated on social media platforms has not translated into occupancy on the trains.
A fortnight after launch, trains are going empty or with single-digit occupancy figures, an aspect which has stumped railway officials too. Three new pairs of trains were launched on January 4 exclusively for KIA Halt station from KSR Railway Station and Yelahanka, and two existing trains were provided halts at the new station.
