To improve accessibility of public transport, the Bengaluru Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) and the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) have introduced stops for airport buses at all metro stations, according to a BMRCL statement Saturday.

“For the convenience of Metro commuters travelling to Kempegowda International Airport, BMTC Vayuvajra (Airport) bus stops have been provided at all Metro stations along the route,” it said

In addition to bus stops at metro stations for Bengaluru airport buses, the BMRCL, BMTC, and the Bengaluru traffic police have coordinated to add 10 new bus stops near metro stations in the city as part of an initiative to integrate public transport systems and make public transport more accessible and seamless.

Since BMTC bus stops were earlier located far from metro stations, the BMRCL, BMTC, and Bengaluru traffic police conducted joint inspections to improve last-mile connectivity in the city.

“Based on this, BMTC has introduced new bus stops close to Metro stations with effect from 05.02.2026 on the Purple Line (Whitefield to Challaghatta) and the Green Line (Madavara to Silk Institute),” the BMRCL said in the statement.

“For all other Metro stations, BMTC bus stops are already available within 100 meters of the station, or new stops could not be provided due to space constraints,” the BMRCL said.
