Bus Branding in Bannerghatta Road
Bannerghatta Road is a long arterial corridor in South Bengaluru, running roughly 25 km south from Adugodi and Dairy Circle near Hosur Road out to the Bannerghatta Biological Park at the city's forest edge. It is one of the strongest hospital and education belts in the city, anchored by IIM Bangalore, NIMHANS, the Jayadeva cardiology institute, and the Apollo and Fortis hospitals, threaded with malls, residential pockets, and tech offices along the way. Because it is a single long road rather than one neighbourhood, a branded bus running its length is seen across many distinct crowds. This page lays out what sits along Bannerghatta Road, which routes run it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
We hold exclusive partnership rights for bus branding across Bengaluru and the whole of Karnataka, so your Bannerghatta Road campaign runs through one accountable partner from planning to proof of display.
Bannerghatta Road at a Glance
- The road starts near the Adugodi and Dairy Circle junction with Hosur Road and runs south through Jayadeva, Bilekahalli, Arekere, Hulimavu, and Gottigere, ending near the Bannerghatta Biological Park.
- It carries three clear identities at once, a hospital and education belt, a retail corridor, and a route to nature, which gives it an unusually mixed crowd along a single road.
- It connects to NICE Road, the Outer Ring Road, and Hosur Road, linking the corridor to Electronic City and the wider south, and the Pink Line metro is arriving along the Bannerghatta stretch.
A branded BMTC bus works Bannerghatta Road all day, seen by the riders on board and by every commuter, motorist and pedestrian around it, at a fraction of the cost of static outdoor.

Bus Routes That Run Along Bannerghatta Road
The corridor has its own route family, the 363 to 372 series, with the 365 group running the full length from the city to the national park. These cover the road end to end, joined by the Vajra and airport services. The routes below are the high-frequency ones. Numbers and exact stops are simple to verify on Google Maps or BMTC route search by entering a from-and-to point along Bannerghatta Road.
| Route number(s) | Connects | Key Bannerghatta Road points covered |
|---|---|---|
| 365 and 365M | Kempegowda Bus Station to Bannerghatta National Park | The full length, NIMHANS, Jayadeva, IIM, Hulimavu, Gottigere, to the park |

| KIA-14 airport services | Bannerghatta Road to Kempegowda International Airport | The Meenakshi Mall and corridor stops toward the airport |
- The 365 family is the spine, running the full road from Majestic to the national park, so a single branded bus crosses the hospital cluster, IIM, the malls, the residential belts, and the park end in one trip.
- Bannerghatta Road is known for heavy, slow traffic at the Jayadeva flyover and Meenakshi Mall stretches, so buses spend long minutes in view, which lengthens the time the branding stays visible.

Footfall & Bus Commuters on Bannerghatta Road
- Bannerghatta Road's audience is unusually varied for a single road, hospital patients and visitors, students at IIM and the colleges, office workers at the tech parks, residents of the Arekere and Hulimavu belts, and weekend families heading to the park.
- The hospital cluster and the malls keep footfall high through the day and beyond office hours, with the Jayadeva and Meenakshi stretches busy almost continuously.
- It has no operating metro on the corridor yet, with the Pink Line in its final stages along the Bannerghatta stretch and the Jayadeva interchange linking to the Yellow Line, so BMTC carries the bulk of the public commute for now.
- A separate bus ridership figure for Bannerghatta Road is not published, but for scale BMTC sells more than 30 lakh tickets a day across the city, and this corridor is one of the busiest arterial roads in the south.
