Ramaswamy Circle — one of Mysuru’s most historically important, most institutionally rich, and most transit-active roundabouts — stands at the heart of the Chamarajapuram / KG Koppal zone on Rani Jhansi Lakshmi Bai Road (JLB Road), at the convergence of the city’s most significant civic and educational arteries. The circle functions as a critical node in Mysuru’s daily transit ecosystem — positioned within the city’s iconic palace and university belt, flanked by the University of Mysore campus, the RTO Circle (123 metres north), Maharaja College and its hostel complex, and Mysuru City Railway Station just 331 metres away — making it one of the most rail-proximate and institutionally clustered roundabouts in all of Karnataka’s royal capital. The KSRTC City Circular Service route — which connects the City Bus Stand, Sub-Urban Bus Stand, and City Railway Station in both clockwise and anti-clockwise directions — specifically includes Ramaswamy Circle as a designated waypoint, confirming its place at the geographic and operational heart of Mysuru’s city transit network. KSRTC bus services from Ramaswamy Circle connect northward via RTO Circle toward Kuvempunagar, Bogadi, Vidyaranyapuram, and JP Nagar, and southward toward Chamarajapuram, the Sub-Urban Bus Stand, and beyond. The first KSRTC bus (Route 2R) departs at 5:01 AM and the last (Route 13) runs until 10:49 PM.
