By Road: When the Metro Doesn’t Fit

Choose the road if you’re:
- Carrying heavy luggage to a long-distance bus or train
- Travelling in a group sharing a cab
- Travelling after the last metro, which leaves Electronic City at about 10:53 p.m.
What slows it down:
- Silk Board Junction during office hours
- Central Bengaluru’s busy roads near Majestic
- Monsoon rain and waterlogging
Tolls: the Electronic City Elevated Expressway is a toll road.
By BMTC Bus: Direct to Kempegowda Bus Station
BMTC runs city buses from Electronic City’s main boarding points to central Bengaluru. Electronic City’s Wikipedia page lists the Electronic City bus stand near Hosur Road, Wipro Gate and Infosys Gate as key starting points.
A travel planner lists a route marked KBS-3A among buses from Electronic City to the Kempegowda Bus Station. Route numbers and timings change, so check BMTC’s app before travelling.
Why take the bus:
- It stops right at Kempegowda Bus Station, handy for connecting to intercity buses
- No interchange needed
- Useful for budget travellers
The trade-off: buses share the road with everyone else, so they’re slower than the metro in peak traffic.
