According to one of the users, these are Uber rental fees. So you can travel 80 kilometers on it. Also, Bangalore airport is more than 50 kilometers from E-City. This is reasonable because you can travel with 4 or 6 (uberXL) people.

Another user said: “The other day, I needed a taxi from hsr to ec at 10:30 pm, and the lowest fare was 850.” Instead I asked for my brother in law to pick me up.

The next person said, “Exactly. Not only the fare, but also the travel time is almost the same if you fly within the country.”

One even said: “Hum gareeb, to 2 din pahle chalna start kar de yaha pahuchne k liye” which means poor people like us started walking 2 days ago to reach their destination.
Hum gareeb a 2 din pahle chalna start kar de yaha pahuchne k liye
