Transport
editBhavanipuram is well connected to other parts of the city by City buses run by APSRTC 23H Penamaluru to BhavaniPuram H.B colony.
History
editUntil the early 1990s, the area mostly consisted of vacant plots, estates and roadside restaurants to serve the traffic along NH9 headed to Bombay. Commercial activity first shifted here from the center of the city in the 1990s with the expansion of the western suburbs of Vijayawada due to ongoing construction activity in the area and its surrounding areas.
