KSRTC service expansion in Kerala

Overview

The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has expanded its service offerings through temporary measures and new premium routes.

To manage high passenger demand during the Onam festival and mitigate delays affecting the Bengaluru-Ernakulam Vande Bharat Express, KSRTC implemented a wet-lease model. This involved hiring 63 air-conditioned buses from private providers for a six-month period to ensure adequate interstate travel capacity.

Following these efforts, KSRTC launched a dedicated premium bus service between Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi. This luxury service aims to provide a business-class experience, featuring amenities such as leather seats, individual entertainment screens, free Wi-Fi, refreshments, and an onboard bathroom.
