Poor response on day one of KSRTC services

Operations resumed in Mysuru after a gap of nearly two months following the lifting of lockdown curbs

After a gap of nearly two months, KSRTC buses hit the road in Mysuru with the lockdown curbs partially lifted following drop in test positivity rate (TPR). However, the services on the inter-city and intra-city routes evoked poor response. The Mysuru rural division of KSRTC operated 160 buses (nearly 35 per cent of its total number) to all major destinations within the State and the district. However, inter-State services were yet to commence. Drivers had to wait for the buses to fill up to 50 per cent to operate. Some services were run based on passenger numbers and the frequency of buses was delayed due to dearth of commuters.
