redBus, an intercity bus ticketing firm has said that over 60,000 Keralites living in Bengaluru have booked tickets on its platform to travel to various destinations in Kerala during Onam.
The company said on September 7 that it had witnessed a 20% surge in bookings from Bengaluru to Kerala ahead of Onam festival this time, compared to previous years. A rise in seat reservations was noticeable from September 4 which prompted the State’s Road Transport Corporations to gear up and facilitate additional schedules to cater to the sudden spike in demand.
