Knowing how to reach Electronic City Bengaluru by metro and bus has become much simpler since 11 August 2025, when the Namma Metro Yellow Line opened for passengers. It started with just three trains running every 25 minutes. A year on, BMRCL reports 13 of 15 trains in service, peak-hour trains roughly every 7 minutes, and more than one lakh passengers a day.
There’s also a quirky detail at the end of the line. The Bommasandra terminus is listed on some metro maps as “Delta Electronics,” a corporate-branded station name. This guide covers the metro, BMTC buses and the last-mile options that get you to your exact gate.

Yellow Line Basics
- Length:15 km, elevated
- Route:V. Road to Bommasandra along Hosur Road
- Stations: 16
- Opened: 11 August 2025, after inauguration by PM Narendra Modi on 10 August
- Trains: driverless, six coaches
- Current frequency: about 7 minutes at peak and 10 minutes off-peak, according to BMRCL officials
- Ridership: more than one lakh passengers daily
More trains: the final 15th trainset has arrived at the Hebbagodi depot and is being tested. BEML is due to supply six more trains from 2027.
About the cost: reports give different project figures, ₹7,160 crore in one and ₹5,745 crore in another, likely because they measure different scopes.

By Metro From Central Bengaluru
From Majestic:
- Take the Green Line south toward R.V. Road
- Change at R.V. Road to the Yellow Line
- Ride toward Bommasandra and get off at your station
One metro guide says trips that used to take about 90 minutes by car can now take 25–30 minutes on the Yellow Line itself. Real journey times depend on where you start and how long the interchange takes.
Tip: at peak hours, allow extra time at R.V. Road. Early after launch, riders complained about crowded trains and long waits, and frequency has improved since more trains arrived.
From the Airport
There’s no direct metro from Kempegowda International Airport to Electronic City yet. Your main options are:
- BMTC airport buses: Electronic City’s Wikipedia page notes buses from E-City to the airport. Check BMTC’s current airport routes and timings.
- Cab: hotel and travel sites estimate the drive at roughly 5 hours, depending on traffic, with distances quoted anywhere from about 39 km to 63 km.
Future link: the Blue Line (ORR–airport corridor) is planned to connect with the Yellow Line at Central Silk Board. Once it opens, metro travel from the airport should become much easier. I couldn’t confirm an opening date.
By BMTC Bus
BMTC buses remain the most popular way to reach Electronic City, according to its Wikipedia entry. Major boarding points include:
- Electronic City bus stand, near Hosur Road
- Wipro Gate
- Infosys Gate
Buses from these points run to most parts of Bengaluru.
Tips:
- Use BMTC’s app or website to check current route numbers and timings
- Many buses use the Electronic City Elevated Expressway, a 9.985 km toll road opened in 2010
- Buses are cheaper than cabs but slower in peak traffic
By Suburban Rail
Heelalige railway station is the nearest suburban railway option. Travel listings put it about a 12-minute drive from bloomSuites in Electronic City. Check train timings before relying on it.
The Last Mile
- Autos: Electronic City’s Wikipedia page notes that most auto-rickshaws here don’t charge by the meter. Agree on the fare before starting.
- Company shuttles: many large employers run buses from metro stations. Ask HR about pickup points.
- Walking: check footpaths and highway crossings on Hosur Road before planning to walk.
Future Interchanges to Watch
- Jayadeva Hospital: planned interchange with the Pink Line, which one 2026 guide said was targeting an elevated stretch opening in 2026 and the full corridor by March 2027
- Central Silk Board: planned interchange with the Blue Line toward the airport
Both depend on other lines opening, so check BMRCL updates before relying on them.
