Bus Branding in Hebbal
Hebbal is the northern gateway of Bengaluru, the big flyover junction where the Outer Ring Road, Bellary Road, and Tumakuru Road traffic all converge on the way to the airport. It looks over Hebbal Lake, sits beside the huge Manyata Tech Park, and carries one of the heaviest mixes of commuter, tech, and airport traffic in the city. It is a junction and corridor more than a compact neighbourhood, so this page lays out what sits around Hebbal, which routes pass through 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 Hebbal campaign runs through one accountable partner from planning to proof of display.
Hebbal at a Glance
- Hebbal junction pulls together traffic from the Outer Ring Road, Bellary Road, Tumakuru Road, Nagavara, and KR Puram, which is why the flyover has long been one of the city's busiest and most congested points.
- It is the main road gateway to Kempegowda International Airport, so a steady stream of airport bound traffic passes through it alongside the daily commuters, and a new flyover loop has recently been added to ease the flow.
- The huge Embassy Manyata Business Park, which holds around a lakh employees, sits next to Hebbal, so the junction also carries a large tech commute on top of the through traffic.
A branded BMTC bus works Hebbal 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.

- Bellary Road through Hebbal is the busiest stretch, since every northern, Yelahanka, and airport route passes the same flyover stops, so a branded bus here is seen by local, tech, and airport crowds at once.
- The junction's slow, congested traffic, especially on and around the flyover, means buses spend long minutes in view, which lengthens the time the branding stays visible.

Footfall & Bus Commuters in Hebbal
- Hebbal works as a junction more than a destination, so its biggest audience is the through commuter flow, people heading between the city, the ORR tech belt, the northern suburbs, and the airport who cross the flyover twice a day.
- The Manyata Tech Park next door adds a large daily tech commute, and the airport corridor adds a steady stream of travellers, so the crowd that sees a branded bus here is wide and varied.
- The defining feature for branding is dwell. The heavy congestion at the flyover and the junction means buses spend long minutes in view of stationary traffic, longer than on free flowing stretches, even after the new flyover loop.
- A separate bus ridership figure for Hebbal is not published, but for scale BMTC sells more than 30 lakh tickets a day across the city, and the flyover is one of the busiest junctions in the north.
