Indiranagar is one of Bengaluru's most established and upmarket localities, built around the 100 Feet Road and 12th Main high streets that have become the city's leading food, nightlife, and flagship retail belt. It mixes affluent residents with a large evening and weekend crowd, and it sits directly on the Purple Line metro. Buses run its high streets all day and feed the metro, so this page lays out what is inside Indiranagar, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.
Three high streets and a couple of arterial roads carry the bus movement through Indiranagar, and they run straight past its retail, dining, and metro footfall. Buses on these stretches pass the flagship stores, the breweries, the hospital, and the metro mouth, which is what makes them the high-visibility routes.
