Time saving depends on how free the Tumkur - Nice road stretch is and where in Bangalore one stays.

Since it was a Saturday evening, the traffic on the Tumkur road was less. So I reached the Tumkur exit toll (Chokkenahalli) at 6.30PM and was home at 8.10PM. For me this distance is approx 80 Kms.

Also for me any run to Airport is not less than 2 and half hours other than when starting very early in the morning. (In context to Gooty - Anatapur - Devanahalli Road). I hate to drive 2.5 hours in peak traffic!!!!
