Pass prices below are current as of January 2026, per BMTC’s latest fare revision. BMTC revises pass and fare prices periodically — always confirm the exact current price with the conductor or at a BMTC counter before paying.
To make daily travel easier and avoid buying a ticket every trip, BMTC offers day, weekly, and monthly passes across its ordinary, Vajra (AC), and Vayu Vajra (airport AC) services.
Where to get a pass
- BMTC bus stand counters
- Bangalore One centers
- BMTC bus conductors (select passes)
- Online via the official BMTC portal
A BMTC ID card is required to validate a monthly pass — carry it along with your pass when travelling. To get an ID card in person, you’ll need to fill the prescribed application form, attach an address proof, provide 2 passport-size photos, and pay a fee (around Rs. 100).
You can also apply online through the official BMTC portal: mybmtc.karnataka.gov.in.
Monthly Pass Prices (as of January 2026)
| Pass Type | Monthly Price | Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary Monthly Pass | Rs. 1,200 | Regular non-AC BMTC buses only |
| Vajra AC Monthly Pass | Rs. 2,000 | AC Vajra services (not Vayu Vajra airport routes) |
| Vayu Vajra Gold Monthly Pass | Rs. 4,000 | All routes including Vayu Vajra airport services |
If your commute includes an airport (Vayu Vajra/KIAS) route, you’ll need the Vayu Vajra Gold pass specifically — the regular Vajra AC pass does not cover airport services.
