KSRTC to offer courier service from Thursday

The State-owned Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has decided to make some extra revenue from its seamless services connecting various depots across and outside the State.

The cash-strapped corporation will start parcel and courier service from Thursday making use of its large network of buses. The corporation authorities say parcels will be delivered within 16 hours and the service charge will be less than that collected by private companies.

Though the Corporation had piloted this project experimentally in the past by inviting bids from private companies to offer courier and parcel service through its buses, the corporation did not benefit much.
