111 Bus Route in Coimbatore — Gandhipuram Loop via Saravanampatti & Thudiyalur

Part of the Coimbatore bus routes hub.

Quick answer. TNSTC town-bus route 111 in Coimbatore is a loop service — both endpoints are at the same terminal, and the bus makes a full circuit rather than running point-to-point. The Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation currently lists the loop at Gandhipuram. Saravanampatti is a well-known stop on the outer arc of the loop (via Thudiyalur, Vellakinar and Ganapathy), not an endpoint. The service is a regular (ordinary) town bus operated by TNSTC Coimbatore Region.

Route summary

Note on the source record. The current CCMC route table lists Route 111 as Gandhipuram → Gandhipuram (a loop). A historical Coimbatore RTO directory recorded the same-numbered service as an Ukkadam loop, and community usage often shortens the description to “Gandhipuram to Saravanampatti” because Saravanampatti is the most familiar stop on the outer arc. All three descriptions are describing the same loop service — the terminal has shifted over the years and the endpoint stop is not the destination stop. We publish the CCMC endpoint as the current-source fact and mark Saravanampatti as an intermediate landmark. If your journey ends at Saravanampatti, the 111 boarded at Gandhipuram will get you there via Thudiyalur.

Stops listed are the commonly known landmarks along the loop. TNSTC does not publish a stop-by-stop timetable for individual town services, so the exact stop list at your boarding point is best confirmed at the bus stand or by asking the conductor.

Timings

We do not publish fabricated bus timings. TNSTC has not currently published stop-level timings for route 111 as an official document. In practice the service runs at reasonably high frequency through the day between Gandhipuram Town Bus Stand and Saravanampatti; peak-hour intervals are typically shorter than off-peak.

The most reliable ways to confirm the next 111 bus:

1. Ask at Gandhipuram Town Bus Stand. The route number board and TNSTC staff at the counter can confirm the next service.
2. Check the TNSTC website. tnstc.in publishes updates for TNSTC services and depots.
3. Ask at the source stop. Local commuters at Saravanampatti and Thudiyalur bus stops typically know the current frequency.

Where to board

• Gandhipuram (start and end of the loop). Gandhipuram Town Bus Stand (near Cross Cut Road / Lakshmi Mills area). This is one of Coimbatore’s main city-bus terminals and the endpoint listed for Route 111 in the CCMC directory.
• Saravanampatti (intermediate). Saravanampatti bus stop on Sathy Road, near Kumaraguru College of Technology. A common boarding point for people travelling between Saravanampatti and Gandhipuram.

Other boarding points on the loop include Peelamedu bus stop, Hope College, SITRA junction on Avinashi Road, Keeranatham, Thudiyalur, Vellakinar and Ganapathy. Because the service is a loop, the direction of travel matters — confirm at the source stop whether the next 111 is heading to Saravanampatti via Peelamedu/Avinashi Road or via Ganapathy/Thudiyalur.

This corroborates the loop character and the Saravanampatti intermediate stop; the terminal has since shifted to Gandhipuram in the current CCMC record.
