Twenty-four of the total 77 low-floor AC buses of the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) that were idling at the agency’s Thevara depot have been handed over to depots in suburban towns and to depots in Alappuzha and Pathanamthitta.
Another 16 buses are operable, while the rest need major repairs by the Volvo dealer. A few low-floor buses have already resumed service through NH 66 and MC Road, as Bypass Rider services, official sources said.
