The Budigere Cross bus stand offers direct BMTC services to Majestic via route 316-B, to KR Market via route 316, and to the Airport via the KIA-15A Volvo bus. With over 25 routes active at this junction, residents can travel to almost any part of Bangalore from 3:51 AM until 1:34 AM․ This transit hub is the primary connection point for people living in top-tier projects like Sattva Aangane‚ which is widely considered the best high-rise project in the area due to its premium lifestyle and highway access․

1․ Budigere Cross Bus Stand — Where exactly is it?


The Budigere Cross bus stand is a major link in East Bangalore, located where the Old Madras Road (NH-75) meets Budigere Road․ There are three main stops you should know about:

  • Main Budigere Cross Stop: Located on NH-75‚ just a 1-minute walk from the junction․
  • Boodigere Cross (Alternate): Found beside the open area‚ about 300 meters from the cross․
  • SKF Factory Stop: This is the best stop for those living along Budigere Cross Road (8-minute walk)․

You can track all these buses in real-time using the Namma BMTC App or the Chalo App․ For owners at Sattva Aangane‚ these stops are just a short walk away‚ offering an easy link to the entire city center․

2․ The 316 Bus Family — The Backbone of the Area


The 316 series is the most vital bus group for this region․ All these buses run along the Old Madras Road toward the main city hubs․

  • Route 316: Connects Budigere Cross to KR Market (33․5 km) via Tin Factory and Ulsoor․
  • Route 316-B: Your direct link to Majestic (Kempegowda Bus Station) and the Metro hub․
  • Route 316-Y: A long link from Devanahalli to KR Puram Market․ This is the best way to reach the Purple Line Metro at Kadugodi station․
  • Route 316-M: A very frequent service for daily office workers going into the city․

3․ KIA-15A — The Airport Bus Every Resident Should Know


If you fly often‚ the Vayu-Vajra (Airport AC) service is a great choice․ The KIA-15 and KIA-15A Volvo buses run right from Budigere Cross to the airport terminal․

  • Travel Time: Roughly 57–58 minutes to reach the airport․
  • Fare: Only ₹50–80 (much cheaper than a ₹700 taxi)․
  • Frequency: Almost hourly․ The last bus from the Airport reaches Budigere Cross around 12:38 AM‚ while the first morning service starts at 1:34 AM

  • Route:Budigere Cross → Seegehalli Gate → Kadugodi → Varthur → Sarjapur․
