The Karnataka Transport Department has launched 800‑1,000 additional special KSRTC buses to ease passenger congestion during the holiday period.
The Karnataka Transport Department has introduced between 800 and 1,000 extra special KSRTC buses for the current festive season, aiming to control passenger crowding on public transport.
These additional buses are being deployed on high‑traffic routes that connect major towns and cities across the state, providing commuters with more seating capacity and reducing wait times.
The move is part of the department’s broader strategy to manage the surge in travel demand that typically accompanies festivals, ensuring smoother journeys and safer travel conditions for passengers.
