The District Development Committee (DDC), district committee of CPI, and RTI activists have decried inadequate KSRTC bus services within Kochi city and from here to neighbouring towns and districts.
This comes in the wake of just about 3,000 of KSRTC’s total fleet of 6,000 buses operating regular services in the State, and the agency pruning services in most intra-city and mofussil routes from Kochi during the past few years. It also withdrew most of its low-floor AC and non-AC buses.
The depleting fleet utility of KSRTC came in for criticism recently from, among others, the DDC, with MLAs demanding in unison the resumption of services that were halted in the wake of the pandemic. The delay in beginning ‘Grama Vandi’ services too came in for criticism.
