Bengaluru, the IT hub of the country shelters the whole set of tech population in Whitefield with the surrounding localities being the polestar for IT business firms. The city’s IT corridor is seen to be congested with thousands of commuters traveling to and fro resulting in unbeatable traffic jams. This has created a need for an extra source of public transport and with the inauguration of this new train, your journey from Baiyapanahalli to Whitefield is expected to be less chaotic and more comfortable.
Baiyapanahalli to Whitefield in 25 minutes
Finally, there is some good news for techies. The much-awaited train service from Baiyapanahalli and Whitefield was inaugurated by Union Railway Minister, Suresh Prabhu on Friday via video conference from Delhi.
DEMU (The Diesel Electric Multiple Unit) trains will leave Baiyapanahalli at 8:25 am and arrive at Whitefield at 8:50 am. This is considered to be a peak hour as office goers hit the road that creates a room for traffic rush in K.R Puram and Outer ring road. If you take this train then you can beat the early morning traffic and reach your destination in just 25 minutes. The train will stop at K.R Puram and Hoodi thus helping you to cover 15km in less than 30 minutes. In the evening, it will leave Whitefield at 6:15 pm and reach Baiyapanahalli at 6:40 pm. With eight coaches, this DEMU can accommodate as many as 2142 passengers during rush hours.
