A man was shocked to discover that cab rates from Bengaluru airport to Electronic City were ‘insanely’ high. He took to Twitter to share his experience.
Cab fare ‘close to flight fare’
Have you ever tried to book a cab and been surprised by the excessive fare listed for the trip? A Twitter user recently came across such a situation when trying to book a flight from Bengaluru Airport to Electronic City.
A man arrived at Bengaluru airport and was looking for a cab to take him to his location in Electronic City. He was shocked, however, when he opened the Uber app and began searching for cabs to his location. The cab fares were ‘insanely high,’ and he took to Twitter to share a screenshot of the cab aggregator’s recommended prices.
He shared a screenshot of Uber’s recommended cab prices. The Uber Premium fare for the 52-kilometer distance was Rs 2,584, while the Uber XL fare was Rs 4,051. “Uber fare to Bangalore Airport from E-CityCost of cab fare is dangerously close to what I paid for the flight ticket,” he captioned his post.

This is insane!
I think AC buses also ply and can be quite comfortable, I have taken one for Mysuru in the past.

These are Uber Rental charges. So, you can actually travel 80 km on that.
Also, Bangalore Airport from E-City is 50+ km. This is reasonable when considering you can travel with 4 or 6 (uberXL) persons.— Vivek Nair ?? 卐 ?️ (@viveknairp) May 23, 2023
Exactly. Not just rate but travel time too is mostly equal if flying domestic.

Why didn't you a Merc or BMW on Ola and then cry on Twitter? 2300 is a decent amount for 50+kms from EC.
