Bengaluru airport to be linked with new rail link: Ashwini Vaishnaw. Union Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting, Electronics, and IT announced the plans on Saturday. The new railway track between Doddajala Railway Station and Bengaluru International Airport would be 7.9 kilometres long and include three stations. He acknowledged the technical challenges involved in implementing the project and assured that the railway department is working swiftly to resolve them. He also stated that the state government is solely responsible for the increase in ticket prices for the metro services in Bengaluru. He further explained that similar policies apply in other major cities, including Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. The Central government has not issued any directives regarding metro fares, he said. He concluded by saying that all responsibilities related to the metro fall under the jurisdiction of the state governments, not the Delhi government.
