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.
The locality wraps the aerodrome and the lake with gated communities and layouts, and the old Jakkur village core. Buses on Bellary Road and the Jakkur Road toward GKVK and Yelahanka are the ones that move the crowd, which is what makes them the high-visibility routes.

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.
