Yes, it's a bad idea.
From Monday to Wednesday I was living in Hotel Savvy Grand on Lohia Path, Vibhuti Khand. My Regional Office was nearby.
Auto waalas outrightly demanded minimum of 80 rupees just to cover a distance of 2 kilometres from Indiranagar Metro Station to Hotel Savvy Grand. Only after I told them, "Naya samajh rakhe ho kya ?" They settled for 60 rupees, which is still a lot.
Gomatinagar...
more... Station tak pahuchte hue toh loot lenge.
Even Badshah Nagar would've been better connectivity wise. Presence of Metro Station besides keeps the prices of Auto and Cabs in check.
In case of Gomatinagar they'd have full monopoly.
RAILFAN People of Lucknow need to understand, Gomatinagar is not Delhi Cantt and Patna is not Jaipur with excessive traffic. There's already less incentive for people to choose this Vande Bharat due to longer route and slower timing. Add that to inaccessible condition of Gomatinagar currently, you'd have trouble.
please wait...Translate to EnglishMan, that's a dumb idea.
I stayed at Hotel Savvy Grand on Lohia Path, Vibhuti Khand from Monday to Wednesday. The office was close by.
The auto guys were asking for a hefty 80 bucks just to go 2 kilometres from Indiranagar Metro Station to the hotel. When I asked them, "Are you living in a whole new world or what?" they agreed on 60 rupees, but that's still too much.
They'll rip you off on the way to Gomatinagar Station.
It would've been easier if it was Badshah Nagar because there's a Metro Station nearby which keeps the auto and cab prices in check.
In Gomatinagar, they'd have a complete monopoly.
Hey folks of Lucknow, get this - Gomatinagar ain't no Delhi Cantt and Patna ain't no Jaipur with crazy traffic. There's already not much reason for people to take this Vande Bharat due to the longer route and slow timings. On top of that, with Gomatinagar being difficult to reach, you'll have a tough time.
