BENGALURU: The city’s first centralised AC railway terminal seems to be slowly emerging as a tourist spot. From rail fans and bloggers to senior citizens and children, the airport-like Sir M Visvesvaraya Terminal at Byappanahalli, which started operations on June 6, is drawing people from across the city.
At just Rs 10 (for platform ticket), anyone can experience the city’s first world-class railway terminal. Officials said the average footfall at the station is now around 200, but it is expected to increase during weekends. “Earlier, people in and around Byappanahalli used to visit, but now many from faraway places in the city are coming here. Most are taking pictures and videos and they are all happy to see the facilities,” said a railway official.
