Poor patronage and travel curbs due to surge in COVID-19 has forced Railways to scale down the train services and coaches in passenger, mail, express and Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) trains and Kerala State Road Transport Corporation to reduce the schedules. The Railways decision to reduce coaches and cancel trains and KSRTC’s decision to bring down services to 50% has hit those depending on the public transport for commuting. The scaling down of the services by the two public transport modes will hit the inter-district and inter-state movement of citizens.
