The 12079 / 80 KSR Bengaluru - SSS Hubballi Jan Shatabdi Express is a Superfast Express train of the Jan Shatabdi Express series belonging to Indian Railways - South Western Railway zone that runs between Bangalore City Junction and Hubli Junction in India. It is the fastest train after the KSR Bengaluru-Dharwad Vande Bharat Express between Bangalore and Hubli.

The tracks between Hubli and Bangalore were recently (March 2023) fully doubled, along with some straightening of the shorter radius curves. This has resulted in this train running faster by about 30 minutes, with a total journey time of 7 hours compared to 7 hours and 30 minutes earlier.

The soon to be introduced Vande Bharat Express between Hubli-Dharwad and Bangalore will most likely be faster than this train.

It operates as train number 12079 from Bangalore City Junction to Hubli Junction and as train number 12080 in the reverse direction serving the state of Karnataka.

It is part of the Jan Shatabdi Express series launched by the former railway minister of India, Mr. Nitish Kumar in the 2002 / 03 Rail Budget.
