KSRTC’s Mysuru Urban and Rural Divisions have been merged to bring down administrative costs.
Replying to a question from K.R. Nagar MLA S.R. Mahesh in the Legislative Assembly, Transport Minister B. Sriramulu, however, said the the merger of the two divisions, which was also accompanied by the closure of Bannimantap unit of Mysuru Urban Division and Mysuru Rural-2 of Mysuru Rural Division, will not inconvenience the travelling public in any manner.
A decision to merge the two KSRTC divisions in Mysuru was taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors of KSRTC on December 28, 2021 in the wake of a sharp dip in KSRTC’s revenues due to COVID-19 and consequent worsening of the Corporation’s financial condition.
