Ashwamedha Classic buses flagged off in Mysuru

Ashwamedha Classic buses that were flagged off in Mysuru on Saturday are expected to ease congestion in KSRTC buses with the passenger load going up substantially after the launch of Shakti – the scheme of offering free rides for women in State transport buses.

Shakti was one of the five guarantees of the Siddaramaiah government and it was the first guarantee that was implemented soon after the new government came to power in the State.

Minister in charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa flagged off 20 Ashwamedha Classic buses, which are the upgraded versions of the Karnataka Sarige non-AC buses, near Kote Anjaneyaswamy Temple at the Balarama Gate of the Palace on Saturday.
