Understanding the Two Main Bus Terminals in Mysore
First-time visitors often confuse Mysore’s two major bus complexes located 1.2 km apart:
- City Bus Stand (CBS) – Near K.R. Circle / Mysore Palace: Dedicated 100% to local intra-city buses (red/orange fleet). This is where you board buses to Chamundi Hill, Zoo, Gokulam, Vijayanagar, and Brindavan Gardens.
- Suburban Bus Stand (SBS) – On Bangalore-Nilgiri Road (Nazarbad): Dedicated to inter-city and long-distance KSRTC express buses connecting to Bengaluru, Madikeri (Coorg), Wayanad, Ooty, Mangalore, and the Kempegowda Airport Flybus.
How to Buy and Use the KSRTC Mysore Daily Pass
- Where to Buy: You can purchase the ₹70 daily pass directly from the conductor on board any non-AC city bus, or at the dedicated enquiry counter at City Bus Stand (Platform 1).
- How it Works: The conductor prints a computerized electronic ticketing machine (ETM) pass showing the date and unique ticket serial number. Show this pass to any conductor on subsequent city bus trips for unlimited free rides until midnight.
- Shakti Scheme for Women: Female passengers holding a valid Karnataka government photo address proof (such as Karnataka Aadhaar Card, Voter ID, or Driving License) travel free on all non-AC city buses under the state government’s Shakti guarantee. Simply request a “Shakti Ticket” from the conductor.
