Just boarding a flight to Bengaluru. From the gate to the plane, used a bus, for literally 20 straight steps. Why so? Why not make a safe corridor to the plane, from the gate, to go on foot? Wouldn't it be cost effective for plane companies; better

You're missing literally everything about airport operations. Those "20 steps" could turn into 200m+ walk depending on gate assignment and aircraft parking position. Plus weather, security zones, ground traffic - airports aren't shopping malls where
