Bengaluru Airport To Become India’s First Multi-Modal Transport Hub

The Multi-Modal Transport Hub (MMTH) at Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) is set to become India’s first airport with such a facility. The MMTH will bring together various modes of transport under one roof, including private car parking, taxi services, and inter/intracity buses operated by the Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) and Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC). The facility will be connected to the Airport Terminals Metro station, which is expected to be operational by 2026.

 
The MMTH hub will also integrate a baggage sorting area, retail area, and dedicated parking spaces for various types of vehicles. It will cater to over 1,200 parking spaces, which will include spaces for private vehicles, vehicles for people with reduced mobility (PRM) and electric vehicles (EVs). The retail and F&B outlets at MMTH will span across levels 1 & 0 (L1 & L0). Levels B1, B1.5, and B2 are reserved for parking, including spaces for buses, while B3 will feature a future baggage tunnel connecting T1 & T2. L0 (north) will be for temporary parking and L0 (south) for app-based taxis… 

In addition to serving airport passengers and staff, BIAL, which operates KIA, is hoping to draw inter-city private and KSRTC bus travelers as well. For instance, bus travelers headed to places like Tirupati and Hyderabad from Bengaluru can reach the airport by Metro (by 2026) and then take an intercity bus to their destination..
