• Kempegowda Bus Station, known to everyone simply as Majestic, is the origin and terminus for most BMTC city routes, with a semi circular layout of more than 22 platforms and a dedicated airport bus bay at the centre.
• It forms one of India's largest public transport intersections, with the BMTC city terminal, the adjacent KSRTC intercity terminal handling close to 80,000 passengers a day, the KSR Bengaluru railway station across the road, and the Majestic metro interchange of the Purple and Green Lines.
• The combined hub spreads over about 32 acres and is set for a roughly 1,500 crore rupee redevelopment into a multi storey transit hub, so the footfall and bus concentration here are unmatched anywhere else in the city.

Majestic is officially Gandhi Nagar, a tightly packed commercial and trade district that wraps the terminal. Buses pulling in and out pass the railway station, the metro gates, the wholesale streets, the cinemas, and the hotel rows, which is what fills the area with footfall through the day.

Majestic is the starting platform for a very large share of BMTC routes, so rather than a handful of passing services, almost every direction of the city has a bus that begins here. The examples below show the spread, from airport and city trunk routes to long suburban services. Numbers and platforms are simple to verify on Google Maps or BMTC route search by entering Kempegowda Bus Station as the start point.

• Because so many routes begin here, a branded bus is not just seen passing through — it sits parked and idling at a platform in front of a large waiting crowd before it sets off across the city.
• The airport bay at the centre of the semi circle means the Vayu Vajra buses carry their branding from the heart of the terminal all the way to the airport and back, across the full length of the city.

Route examples and operations compiled from public BMTC and KSRTC information for the Kempegowda Bus Station hub; platforms, routes, and the redevelopment plan are revised by the operators from time to time.

Unlike a roadside locality, the footfall here concentrates inside one large terminal and the transfer points around it. These are the busiest, where city, intercity, rail, and metro crowds meet, so a branded bus standing at a platform gets long viewing windows from a dense, waiting crowd.

• Majestic carries the widest cross section of any single point in the city, since commuters from every direction pass through it, alongside intercity and interstate travellers, railway passengers, and the metro interchange crowd.
• The terminal runs from about 4 AM until midnight with near constant bus movement, so the audience is present across almost the entire day rather than only at peak hours.
• The defining feature for branding is concentration. Hundreds of buses stand across the platforms at the same time, in view of lakhs of waiting passengers, before fanning out across the city, which no roadside location can match.
• A separate ridership figure for an individual route is not published, but the hub level numbers — around 5 lakh BMTC and 80,000 KSRTC passengers a day — set the scale, against BMTC's 30 lakh plus daily tickets citywide.
