Bengaluru airport is set to become India's first multi-modal transport hub.

03 Apr 2023 CW Team

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.

Currently, the KIA halt railway station is located in the northwest corner of the airport boundary, around 4.6 km from T1 and 5.6 km from T2. However, BIAL is working with Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) Ltd to bring the rail network closer to the terminal forecourt area and to develop an underground rail station that can cater to both terminals. If this plan and design materialize, the proposed suburban railway station will be ideally located at less than 400 -500 meters from the MMTH.

The MMTH is expected to enhance the efficiency of landside operations of the airport and improve the overall travel experience for passengers.

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.
