The luxury bus procured for the travel of Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan and his Cabinet colleagues in connection with the month-long programme Navakerala Sadas in 2023 will soon be part of the fleet owned by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) for regular commutation of passengers.
As per initial reports, the bus will be pressed into service on the Thiruvananthapuram-Bengaluru route or the Kozhikode-Bengaluru route.
The work on rearranging the seats in the bus has been completed by a Karnataka-based automobile body-building outlet which had rolled out the Benz luxury bus. The paperwork has been completed, and once the stage carrier permit is issued by the Motor Vehicles department (MVD), the bus will commence services on the “most economically viable route” at special rates.
