Banashankari Bus Stop — formally the Banashankari TTMC (Taluk Traffic Management Centre) — is one of Bengaluru’s most important and most multi-modal southern transit hubs. Serving as a dedicated BMTC terminus and bus station for the large, densely populated residential zone of Banashankari and its surrounding localities — Jayanagar, JP Nagar, Padmanabhanagar, and Kumaraswamy Layout — the TTMC is the point from which dozens of BMTC routes fan outward to every corner of the city. It also sits within 4 minutes’ walk of Yelachenahalli Metro Station on the Namma Metro Green Line, making it one of south Bengaluru’s most genuinely multi-modal transit interchanges.
The stop is named for and located in Banashankari — one of Bengaluru’s most beloved residential areas, whose most celebrated landmark, the ancient and deeply revered Banashankari Amma Temple, draws devotees from across South India throughout the year.
