Commute from Whitefield to Bengaluru Airport (BIA)

Travel from Whitefield to Bengaluru International Airport (BIA) ?
When I lived on Airport Road, I had the luxury of walking to HAL Airport. It may be hard to believe but sometimes it took less time to walk from Kemp Forte to HAL Airport than taking a taxi or auto during peak hours.
Now I will be moving to Brigade Metropolis apartment in Whitefield and I am exploring how will I commute to Bengaluru International Airport. There are several options available but I think Airport Shuttle Services using air conditioned Volvo bus is the cheapest, most comfortable and they have a good frequency too (every 10 min). People from Brigade Metropolis can board the bus from K.R.Puram (2 km from the apartment)
