It's a replacement to boat service in those regions. The region Kochi is basically a bunch of islands and bridges connecting them so a boat service would make sense and one that looks modern improves the overall aesthetic. I hear they are adopting this to Mumbai or something. Not sure how it will go but let's see.

Exceeding expectations and marking a six-quarter high, India's gross domestic product (GDP) quickened to 8.2% in the second quarter of FY26, up from 5.6% in the same quarter last year. The expansion is underpinned by strong rural and government expenditure even as private capital spending remained subdued.
India's GDP in the last quarter follows a 7.8% growth in the April–June quarter.
Private consumer spending, which accounts for around 57% of GDP, rose 7.9% year-on-year in July-September, compared with a 7.0% rise a quarter ago. Apart from consumption, the strong economic performance was led primarily by the manufacturing sector, which grew 9.1 % year on year as against 2.2% in the same period last year.
Meanwhile, the country's nominal GDP grew at 8.7% during the previous quarter.
An Economic Times poll had forecast a 7.3% growth rate in the second quarter, higher than the Reserve Bank of India’s projection of 7%.
Economists had said pre-festive inventory buildup, coupled with GST rationalisation, would have bolstered activity.
Government spending decelerated, declining 2.7% year-on-year in the three months through September as compared to growth of 7.4% in the previous quarter, the data released on Friday showed.
India lowered Goods and Services Tax rates on most items from September 22, which is expected to bolster consumption in the world’s fifth-largest economy.
Demand for household products and groceries had revived in the second quarter even before the GST cuts on key staples took effect from September 22, ET had reported citing data by Numerator (formerly Kantar) and growth numbers of leading fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that the GST rejig is set to bring to Rs 2 lakh crore in hands of the common people, signalling a possibility of higher discretionary spending.
"Growth has exceeded expectations dramatically to 8.2%, led by statistically favourable deflator effects, lagged effects of monetary and regulatory easing and a limited hit so far on India's exports,” Madhavi Arora, Chief Economist, Emkay Global Financial Services, told Reuters.
Agriculture grew 3.5% in the second quarter of FY26 on an annual basis. The sector had grown at 4.1% in Q2 FY25. The mining sector contracted 0.04% in Q2 FY26, against a contraction of 0.4% in FY25.
Further, the secondary sector consisting of manufacturing and electricity industries recorded a growth of 8.1% on an annual basis. The growth rate for India's secondary sector had stood at 4.0% in the same period of the last fiscal.
The tertiary sector growth stood at 9.2% annually. Growth for trade, hotels, transport, communications and services related to broadcasting grew 7.4% on an annual basis in Q2 FY26, up from 6.1% in FY25.
Meanwhile, financial, real estate and professional services witnessed a growth of 10.2% in September quarter as against 7.2% in Q2 of the previous fiscal.
Public administration and defence recorded a growth of 9.7% in Q2FY26 on an annual basis against 8.9% in FY25.
“A sustained recovery in economic momentum emerged in the second quarter, driven by agriculture, manufacturing, and construction, as evidenced by high-frequency data,” Rajani Sinha, chief economist at CareEdge Ratings, told ET before the print was released.
Industrial output strengthened, with the Index of Industrial Production rising 4.1% on average in the September quarter, compared with 2.7% a year earlier. Manufacturing output expanded 4.9% from 3.3% in the same period last year.
Government capital expenditure climbed 31% in the September quarter, slower than the 52% jump in the preceding quarter but stronger than the 10% growth recorded a year earlier. Merchandise exports rose 8.8%, reversing a 7% drop in the corresponding year-ago quarter, lifted by front-loaded shipments ahead of US tariffs.
Household consumption, which accounts for roughly 60% of the economy, strengthened in the July-September quarter as rural spending improved on better agricultural output. Urban demand and private investment continued to lag, Reuters reported.

I think the new metro will fix it.
@Persian Gulf
We find "Home Demand" based growth of India, since it refused to sign NPT by 1974 nuclear test, while focussing on those industries who won't produce the 'smoke' for export orders, as compared to other Asian tigers ,.
We aren't unhappy to have the current living standard of India without having Export based progress/on those manufacturing industries for export

Problem is not the actual path. (Hebbal to Airport) but the main city traffic.

yeah but the number of cabs rolling out of Kempegowda is a key reason for traffic. So Until Hebbal they can reach via metro. And then there's that new ring highway which opened last year- it will take people directly to hope farm withot entering the city. There will be 'some' relief in Hebbal. I wonder if it will be enough.

Plus @onlinpunit an easy way to fix this is to grow rich 
There's a new helicopter serive you can take from Airport to places like whitefield

According to some, since india didn't "bend the knee" to Fuherer Trump, we are not going to see a deal anytime soon. According to IMF, we will lose 0.3% percent GDP growth. Also, inflation is record low. So nominal growth is not going to touch 10% this year. Good for PCI though. We are easily clocking 5.5% or more annual growth on that front.
