Bhubaneswar Bus Stop — formally the Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar Bus Terminal (BSABT), widely known as Baramunda ISBT — is Odisha’s largest, most modern, and most important bus terminus. Inaugurated in March 2024, this hi-tech three-floored terminal in the Baramunda neighbourhood of Bhubaneswar has replaced the older Baramunda bus stand infrastructure with a world-class facility built at a cost of ₹210 crores and spread across 28,124 square metres of built area. With a capacity to handle 30,000 passengers and 700 to 800 buses daily, Baramunda ISBT is the central gateway through which Bhubaneswar connects to every district of Odisha, to neighbouring states, and through which the city’s Mo Bus (Ama Bus) network fans outward to all major destinations within the Bhubaneswar–Cuttack–Puri urban agglomeration.
