Man, it's just easier to hit up BNZ instead of Aishbagh. Takes about the same time hopping on the metro from Lucknow Jn/Charbagh to Badshah Nagar as cruising by road to Aishbagh [actually, metro's quicker 'cause it's always coming, unlike the rare road transport to ASH].

Funny thing is, the fastest route to ASH is just following the train tracks. Technically, it's only about 1 km. Had to pick up a relative from ASH once, so I ditched the road and just stuck to the rails :p
