Budigere Cross Bus Stand and Bus Services to Bangalore: The 2026 Guide

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․

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․

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․

This is the most important new update for 2026․ As of July 2025‚ BMTC has launched a direct bus from Budigere Cross to Sarjapur Road․

• Route:Budigere Cross → Seegehalli Gate → Kadugodi → Varthur → Sarjapur․
• Why it matters: It links two major real estate hubs․ If you work at Wipro or Cisco on Sarjapur Road but live in Sattva Aangane‚ this direct bus saves you 30 minutes of travel every day․

Since June 2023‚ the Shakti Scheme has been a big help at Budigere Cross․ All women from Karnataka can travel for FREE on regular BMTC buses (red and blue buses)․

• How to use: Show your Karnataka ID (like Aadhaar or Voter ID) to the bus conductor․
• Note: This does not work on the AC Volvo (Vajra) or Airport (Vayu-Vajra) buses․

• First & Last Bus: The earliest bus (Route 317-NG) leaves at 3:51 AM․ The final bus of the night (KIA-15A) passes at 1:34 AM․
• Smart Card: Use the NCMC card to pay easily on both BMTC buses and the Bangalore Metro․
• Live Tracking: Don't wait at the stop for too long․ Use the Namma BMTC App to see exactly where your bus is on the highway․
