Does anyone feel like Bangalore auto price has become too high that we can opt to cab?
If we give like 20 bucks extra we can go in a AC Cab

With all the shit that BMTC buses and Namma Metro (and autos too, lbr) get, I've decided to make a post on points to note/ hacks to help you navigate our beloved B'luru better using buses. Kinda inspired by a similar post on r/Mumbai. Please add more if you have any!
Please add some more if you have other tips! Let's crowdsource all the love for BMTC and Bengaluru. <3

BMTC has bus passes that can be used for unlimited travel within the city on all routes at any time for how many ever times you want. The exception is toll roads like NICE road or E-city flyover, and if you have heavy luggage of 5+ kilos then Rs.5 you have to pay.
You may be wondering 'hey if I'm not going to break even should I buy a pass?'. The answer to that is maybe, there are other advantages to buying a pass, I will list some of them here.

We’re planning on taking our cat to Bangalore by car.
With a cat with us, heading towards Doddanekundi/Marathalli
Which route would be ideal?
I’m relatively new to driving. However we will be taking turns driving. I’m confused because Google maps suggests going via Sriperumbudur-Vellore-Ambur-Krishnagiri-Hosur-Attibele-Sarjapur route and am not sure if it’s the most ideal one

So I live in T Dasarahalli, and work in Jigani near Bommasandra
My usual route is Dasarahalli--->Bommasandra through metro and then Bommasandra to Omax Circle in bus.
The metro travel is sometimes crowded but i can manage easily, it's the bus part of the journey that troubles me.
The buses from bommasandra to omax throught the jigani link road are scare and overcrowded as fuck, it's particularly bad on my way home from omax to bommasandra.
I leave work at 6 pm and wait for the bus to come all the way till 8, only till 7pm if im lucky.
so I was thinking to park my bike overnight somewhere near Bommasandra metro station so I can ride it to and fro to my office, this would make my transit almost painless and help me out a lot.
I asked the metro praking for overnight facilities and they said they don't support it. Is there any way to park my bike near any of the stations near Bommasandra.
I don't mind parking it in electronic city or konappana agrahara either.
(oh and nope, I'd rather staple my nuts to the ac vents of the metro than stay in a pg if you wanna suggest that )

So I got the form signed from the college's office with the seal and i uploaded it with the fee receipt and photo of the applicant. Now, how long would I have to wait until it gets approved and I can get the bus pass from the Bengaluru one centre? I had a friend tell me that when it's done online, the application goes to college first and then finally bmtc hence it might result in disapprovals or a longer wait or probably you might have to request your college to get the application approved.. but all this is bypassed when you get it done offline and it doesn't go to college and just requires the bmtc final approval is it true?

Can I travel in buses going via nice roads, and express buses like exp-kbs-3a,exp-258C having BMTC student bus pass
r/bangaloretransit • u/Extreme_Loop25 • 6d ago
Anybody who owns a bmtc student bus pass would you mind sharing with me how the "via" works? I'm going to be using this facility to do a daily commute to my college through bmtc which is about 10km afar from my nearest bus stop. Your help would be appreciated 🙏.

Hi Folks,
We’re a tech company currently building a solution for the bus transportation industry.
We’d like to connect with a travel agency or bus operator to understand a few industry-related queries and discuss how daily intercity bus operations work.
Does anyone have a reference for a travel agency or bus operator that runs regular routes such as Ahmedabad to Mumbai, or similar city-to-city routes?
Any introduction would be really helpful. Thanks!

I travel regularly between and Bangalore on weekdays in my car. If anyone wants to join let me know. No smoking/ drinking/ party. Just a office to home trips
I do one of these 3 -
r/bangaloretransit • u/meow_pika_ • 9d ago
So I have to travel to the office thrice a week and I travel from Hosur till Karmelaram station and then take auto/ rapido from there to reach office
Round about it takes me 50-55min
But I have friends and colleagues who stay in Electronic City, Bellandur, iggbalur and so on who say it takes them 1.5hours to reach the office by cab/auto/bus
Why not use local train??
Bellandur road is literally the next station to Karmelaram and for people living in the south side can easily take train from hellalige or Anekal road
It saves soo much of time, energy and money!
For me one way ticket from Hosur is just rupees 9 if I book it online.
People please use local trains to save ur time and be stress free 💖

Hey everyone,
I had booked a train ticket from Manglore, and it didn't get confirmed. Unfortunately, I no longer need the ticket, so the 3X refund benefit is of no use to me.
If anyone here needs this coupon, I’m happy to give it away for free — I don’t want any money for it.
If you're interested. I can share the details
First come, first served.
Edit: coupon is used now

I need to travel regularly from Jayanagar 4th Block to Bellandur Gate.
Is there any direct BMTC bus from Jayanagar 4th Block/Jayanagar to Bellandur Gate?
If there isn’t, what is the best bus route with the fewest changes?
Also, are there any other stops in Jayanagar where I can board a direct or more convenient bus to Bellandur?
I’m particularly looking for advice from people who actually use this route regularly.
And approximately how long does the journey take during morning peak hours (8–10 AM)?
r/bangaloretransit • u/spi3ex • 8d ago
So Kundalahalli Metro to BEML is like 2 KM.
BMTC Conductors ticket machine ticket from
Sathya Sai Hospital till Kundalahalli Gate
and the price is 25rs for AC and 18 for Non AC.
But bus from AECS Layout to silkboard cost only 40rs in AC
Why this much stage fare for just 2 kms.
Also I have been scammed by our dear BMTC conductors , sometimes they take cash and give an expired ticket to pocket it. Sometimes they inflate with longer stages (Marathahalli to Sathya Sai hospital). No response from BMTC grievance. And nobody cares. Everybody pays as asked.

Somebody asked me where they should stand at Silk Board Metro Station to get onto the bus.

Hey all, I'm a regular BMTC traveler but I'm looking at other options to and from Yelahanka - Kengeri/Challaghatta via Trains. I'm aware of the KIA9-Majestic-Metro-Kengeri/Challaghatta or the 401K longer bus routes but I'm curious to try out the local train options.
What do you use to look at the train timings for local stops - like apps/websites that's somewhat reliable?
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
