Planning a trip in a 40 seater bus
A 40 seater covers every major route from Bangalore. On narrow hill roads it needs the same care as any full-size coach, so we pick drop points in advance for places like Mullayanagiri or the French Quarter in Pondicherry.
Tell us if you need pushback seats, a microphone for a guide, or extra luggage space, and we will confirm the exact bus before you pay. Pickups from two or three points in Bangalore are fine if they are on the way out of the city.
For local use inside Bangalore, such as a wedding shuttle, an event day or a group airport drop, the price depends on hours and kilometres, so send your plan on WhatsApp for a quote.
How it compares with other buses
| Bus | Seats | Rate | Mysore day trip | Per head (full) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Bus 20–25 Seater | 20 to 25 seats | ₹36/km | ₹11,140 | ₹446 |
| Bus 32–35 Seater | 32 to 35 seats | ₹45/km | ₹13,750 | ₹393 |
| Bus 40 Seater | 40 seats | ₹48/km | ₹14,620 | ₹366 |
| Bus 50 Seater | 50 seats | ₹60/km | ₹18,200 | ₹364 |

What the fare includes
Every fare on this page is for the whole bus, not per seat. It includes the AC bus, an experienced driver, diesel and the driver's daily allowance (bata), which also covers his food and night stay. You never pay for the driver's room separately.
| Included | Paid at actuals |
|---|---|
| Bus, diesel and driver | Toll charges |
| Driver bata for every day | Parking fees |
| Pickup and drop at your address in Bangalore | State permits outside Karnataka |
| Help on WhatsApp through the trip | Entry tickets, guides and jeeps |
Outstation fares are worked out the same way as the price on our search: kilometres × the rate per km, plus bata per day. We bill a minimum of 250 km a day, so a short trip spread over several days costs at least that much per day.
