A new train service to the Bengaluru's Kempegowda Airport is touted to be a game-changer for the city and an incredible solution to commuters, who'd otherwise have to spend a lot on taxis, the bus or pay for parking fares if taking self-transport. All that and more changes with the special train service from Bengaluru to Kempegowda International Airport.

With the new service launch, there are naturally questions about how to get onboard the train for the first time. The train service was started on Monday, January 4, but there's a change in timings with effect from January 8, which is essential to know if you wish not to miss your flight.
