Bus Branding in Indiranagar

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.

  • Indiranagar is an old, planned residential layout that grew into a premium commercial district; 100 Feet Road, once lined with houses, is now widely described as one of India's top food and beverage high streets, ahead of older pub belts like MG Road.
  • The locality has direct metro access — the Indiranagar station on the Purple Line at the 100 Feet Road and CMH Road junction has run since 2011 — so it is served by both rail and a dense bus network at once.
  • Its draw is the curated retail and nightlife: flagship brand stores along 100 Feet Road, the pub and restaurant cluster on 12th Main, craft beer anchors such as Toit, and ethnic wear and lifestyle stores on CMH Road.

Areas & Landmarks Inside Indiranagar

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.

Bus Routes That Pass Through Indiranagar

Indiranagar has its own BMTC depot and sits on two major corridors — Old Madras Road and the 100 Feet Road link to Old Airport Road — so a wide set of routes runs through it between the city centre, the eastern suburbs, and the southern layouts. The routes below are the high-frequency ones covering the high streets, the metro, and CMH Road. Numbers and exact stops are simple to verify on Google Maps or BMTC route search by entering a from-and-to point through Indiranagar.

  • The 314 family on CMH Road and Old Madras Road, and the 100 Feet Road services such as 295 and 296, are the routes that thread the retail and dining core most directly, so buses on them get the densest crowd exposure.
  • Because Indiranagar lies between the central business district, KR Puram, and the eastern tech belt, many through routes use Old Madras Road along its northern edge, adding traffic beyond the buses that start from its own depot.

Major Bus Stops Inside Indiranagar

Stops line 100 Feet Road, CMH Road, and the Double Road stretch. These are the busiest, where retail, dining, hospital, and metro footfall meet, so a branded bus halting here gets long viewing windows from a waiting crowd.

  • Indiranagar carries two distinct crowds: affluent residents across its stages and Defence Colony, and a large floating crowd of shoppers, diners, and pub goers that swells in the evenings and on weekends along 100 Feet Road and 12th Main.
  • It is served by both the Purple Line metro and a dense bus network, with buses also acting as a feeder to the metro, so branded buses on these routes reach commuters and the high street crowd together.
  • A separate bus ridership figure for Indiranagar is not published, but for scale BMTC sells more than 30 lakh tickets a day across the city, and Indiranagar's depot and high street density place it among the busier pockets.
  • Weekend and evening congestion on 100 Feet Road, driven by the restaurants and pubs, means buses spend longer in slow traffic here, which lengthens the time the branding is in view of a stationary crowd.
