Airport shut for civilian flights, trains cancelled

Another reason where cab rental agency is more reliable - Civilian flights cancelled at Airport, train cancellation on rise

Recently the refusal to take on civilian passengers on flights by airports due to bad weather and the cancellation of trains due to low number of passengers has given the people another reason to rely on cab rental agencies.

The Biju Patnaik Airport shut down for civilians on 12/10/'13 with the weather getting worse. Early in the day a Kolkata-Bhubaneswar Jet Airways had returned as it failed to land.

"The jet Airlines pilot failed to land due to poor visibility. We have suspended operations of all passenger flights for the day"  Sharad Kumar (airport director) told Times Of India. Sources said the flight actually came close to landing but decided to pull away as the visibility was much too low. Only two Indigo flights could leave the city, one to Bombay and another to New Delhi before flying operations were suspended.

Several dejected passengers lined up outside the counters for refunding their tickets. "Earlier, they said that morning flights won't be disturbed. However after reaching the airport we were told that all our flights were cancelled," said Siddharth S jagdev, who was to take a flight to Guwahati via Kolkata city with eight other people but ended up renting a cab at the last minute for the journey. "We are continuosly monitoring the situation. Service will depend on the weather," the airport director said. trains reaching Bhubaneswar registered very few passengers. The railways cancelled more than 28 express trains and 24 local passenger trains, on route to Puri or Bhubaneswar.

Due to inconsistencies in other modes of transport, the use of cab rental companies is popularizing with Bangalore in the lead. The people have found it to be less disappointing and less risky.

However not all cab rental agency are found to be good. Meru, Ola and TaxiForSure have found to switch to a customer paying more when supply of cabs is low. BIAL has selected Classic Cabs cab rental Bangalore to aid the people and corporates  replacing profit based cab agencies.
