Jakkur is a developing locality in North Bengaluru, set off Bellary Road between Hebbal and Yelahanka on the airport corridor. It is known for the Jakkur Aerodrome, the only dedicated general aviation airfield in the city and home to the state flying training school, and for the large Jakkur Lake. Around these, newer gated communities and premium layouts have grown, giving the area an emerging upmarket residential character on the airport side. This page lays out what sits inside Jakkur, which routes pass through it, where the busiest stops are, and who the buses reach.

Major Bus Stops in Jakkur

Stops line Bellary Road at the aerodrome, GKVK, and the layout gates. These are the busiest, where resident, campus, and corridor footfall meet, so a branded bus halting here gets long viewing windows from a waiting crowd, heaviest at the commute hours.

  • Jakkur's audience blends the residents of the new gated communities and layouts with the GKVK campus crowd and the corridor commuters heading toward Yelahanka and the airport.
  • As an airport corridor locality, it also sees airport bound travellers and the steady through traffic of the Bellary Road north routes.
  • It has no metro station inside it yet, with the nearest links on the Bellary Road and Yelahanka side, so BMTC buses and the airport services carry the bulk of the public commute from the area.
  • A separate bus ridership figure for Jakkur is not published, but for scale BMTC sells more than 30 lakh tickets a day across the city, and the Bellary Road corridor near Jakkur is one of the busier in the north.
