The Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy on Saturday launched Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation’s (KSRTC) new venture “Namma Cargo- Truck service” and flagged off 20 new cargo trucks.
The 20 fully-equipped trucks were launched with the aim of enhancing the non-ticket revenue of the corporation. Mr. Reddy informed that 100 trucks would be inducted in a month and 500 trucks in a year’s time. “Basaveshwara bus station at Peenya will be utilised as a depot for operation and maintenance of these trucks, and remaining vacant space will be provided to government companies to get commercial revenue,” he added.
