Exits and getting around

The station is in the Sarbandapalya area on Kanakapura Road (PIN 560078). Ticketing and fare gates are on the concourse level, above the road. Public station guides list several entry and exit points on both sides of Kanakapura Road, but they name them differently, so follow the signs inside the station.

TTMC side: the Banashankari TTMC building and BMTC bus station, for buses across south Bengaluru.
Temple side: the Sri Banashankari Amma Temple, a short walk away.
Crossing the junction: the junction is very busy. BMRCL floated a tender of about ₹50 crore in April 2025 for a skywalk linking the station, the TTMC and the junction, and work was reported to have begun in May 2026. Later in 2026 the local MP alleged the plan had been shelved, so check the current status before relying on it.

Parking at the station is reported by public guides; check the BMRCL website or app for current parking slots and charges.

Fares, tickets and timings

BMRCL revised Namma Metro fares from 9 February 2025. A further 5% hike planned for 9 February 2026 was kept on hold on 8 February 2026, and reports in July 2026 said no new hike had been approved.

Distance	Token fare
0–2 km	₹10
2–4 km	₹20
4–6 km	₹30
6–8 km	₹40
8–10 km	₹50
10–15 km	₹60
15–20 km	₹70
20–25 km	₹80

Exact fare: some station pairs were later reduced after protests, so use the fare calculator on the BMRCL website or the Namma Metro app.
Tickets: QR tickets on the Namma Metro app and other apps, tokens at counters and machines.
Cards: a smart card gives 5% off token fares, as per BMRCL fare rules.
Timings: Green Line trains run from early morning (around 5 AM) to about 11 PM on most days. BMRCL says timings can change, so check the app for the current first and last train.

Before you rent or buy near Banashankari

Check the guideline value. Stamp duty in Karnataka is charged on the deal value or the guideline value, whichever is higher.
Check RERA for new projects. Look up the project on the Karnataka RERA website before you book.
Check the khata and tax record. Since 2 September 2025, the Greater Bengaluru Authority and five new city corporations have replaced BBMP, so check which corporation now holds the property tax record.
Check the occupancy certificate. For flats and rebuilt houses, ask for the OC before you pay.
Put the lease in writing. Sign a rent agreement with the rent, deposit, notice period and maintenance clearly listed.
