Within the coming month, I need to travel from Bangalore to Hyderabad and my plans would be very sudden. So that I am prepared for my journey, I would like to find out some details before my trip. As I would be traveling by bus, I need to know how many buses from Bangalore to Hyderabad go during the day? Is it easy to get a ticket by arriving at the bus?
Hi, welcome to the forum! (Images from TSRTC Online, TSRTC Online, Animesh CMC and Kunal Jadhav) Overview The distance from Bangalore to Hyderabad is about 570 kilometres. It can take around 9 t0 10 hours of driving to cover this distance. With public transportation, like buses, the journey would be longer, even reaching 12 hours at the most. Fortunately, there are plenty of buses running through this route, even during day time. Sometimes, for longer journeys like this route, bus timings are confined to the night time. But for the Bangalore to Hyderabad route, there are many day time buses that can fit into one's schedule easily. In this guide, we would highlight your day time bus options, ranging from government-operated ones and up to private-operated ones. Day Time Buses from Bangalore to Hyderabad 1. Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) Buses - The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) operates a total of 10 buses that run during the day from Bangalore to Hyderabad.

The nearest one located close to the Majestic Bus Stand can be found in the Anand Rao Circle, just opposite the Fortune Hotel. You can book your ticket in person here though this is not advised during peak season, when there are festivals or if it's a holiday. Conclusion These are your day time bus options from Bangalore to Hyderabad. As you can see, you have plenty of options though still fewer as compared to the night time buses for this route. You can choose between the government buses, TSRTC or KSRTC, or the private buses operated by SRS Travels. With these buses, you can reach Hyderabad either early in the evening or late in the evening. Those buses departing late in the afternoon would arrive in Hyderabad around dawn though. Good luck and I hope this helps you!
