I think these two buses to ernakulam are basically for people from calicut and only 1 bus to ernakulam is a superfast through salem .From this we can understand that KSRTC is not interested to compete with private operators in a competitive route even though they have good buses.; May 5, 2009 1:18 PM

Any Bus to B'lore from beyond Thrissur changes driver at Palakkad. and the stretch from Palakkad to B'lore via Salem is where the bus makes up the running time coz of excellent plain roads.. I'm not takin away the credit from Trivandrum drivers but next time u travel pls wake up at Palakkad and see the difference for urself..
Can somebody tell me whts the case with Volvo's?? do they change drivers at palakkad or they have 2 drivers from Tvm??; June 7, 2009 2:39 PM
Anonymous said...: Hey Sandeep, no change in driver now. They are using 2 drivers(all the buses). I will tell one thing, the bus was running at really high speed even through Angamaly and thrissur sector.It overtook nearly all buses. Even the A/c bus from ekm was overtaken so easily. I dont remember the bus number , but it's a super express belonging to TVm central depot.Even it was the same case with previous A/c bus and volvo. They r really fast.; June 7, 2009 4:08 PM
Anonymous said...: Ac buses and super express are of different chasis. Ac buses are TATA 1616c chasis and super express is a leyland chasis. we cant compare a leyland chasis with Tata's new 1616c in case of speed.; June 7, 2009 5:52 PM
Renjith said...: Hi Anonymous.

Technically 1616 means .. 160 bhp and 16 tonnage capacity according to TML(Tata motors Ltd). So even the same leyland also are fitted with 160 bhp engine. Technically there should be no much difference in speed between these two. I feel both tata 1616 or 1516 and leyland's engine specs are nearly about the same. So running time of both the vehicles should be same too. but for volvo is somewhere near to 290 bhp thats y we see the raw power kicking when it overtakes. Even volvo's are fitted with ESP's so during the turning or while overtaking it has perfect balance that creates extreme high end stability. Normally these highway maneuvering by normal buses are difficult.Tata's and leylands are coming up with new buses, but to compete with volvos, mercedes ,king-long and corona it has to have a raw power unit fitted to it.; June 7, 2009 9:26 PM

Why dont u use ur name first?
One more thing , I would like to convey one thing it's not the responsibility of this site owner to fetch datas to KSRTC. What I feel is like the owner has created a better platform for us to share our views openly . Now we could realise that our views are also in par with others. I really appreciate mr. Sujith for his decision to start this blog because this travel is one of the most important and painful aspect of a person who lives in Bangalore during the weekends. It's the responsibility of the minister or authorities of ksrtc to check these things in the web and really think if they can do something better. I guess this site gives them a better feedback so that they can act. If someone types ksrtc in google we get this blog in the first page. So the real responsibility lies in authority not sujith. This online sharing is itself a sharing activity done to ksrtc. We can see Helpline numbers, suggestion and compliant boxes in KSRTC bus stands. Why we need those boxes/numbers when public itself are demonstrating everything through net.; June 13, 2009 10:49 PM

I really appreciate the effort taken by Mr. Sujith in develping this blog. Its really informative and will promote KSRTC services as well.We should all be greatful to Sujith for starting sucha blog.
If KSRTC is so proactive then why we need blogs like this. Its wrong to expect KSRTC to access this blog. It is the duty of the moderatorand all of us to find the means to approach KSRTC with the concerns raised here.Otherwise what is the benfit of all these long discussion .It will not serve any purpose then timepass.

We are electing our ministers to help us. If they cant even check the internet and fetch the problems they I wonder why we should go on electing those kind of people . When everything is made online they should take atleast the minimum pain to check those. If we can check some of the good ministers like Ganesh Kumar,Dayanidhi maran etc they have a personal site itself (http://www.kbganeshkumar.net/), www.pchidambaram.org/ , http://dmaran.nic.in/. This shows how active they are and clearly Ganesh Kumar has demonstrated us how he could change KSRTC into a profitable organisation and better one. Even D.Maran has done it with BSNL etc. We need ministers like Ganesh Kumar to come back as a Transport minister else we cant expect much from KSRTC whatever we tell or comment or post through internet or directly .; June 14, 2009 12:06 PM
Roopesh said...: This is the first time I chose Kerala SRTC Volvo bus. Bus fare is cheaper, but the service much better. Comfortable, safe driving not the usual dangerous driving resorted to by the private bus drivers. It reached Madivala at 6:20 am even though it started from Kollam at 5:00pm. Only problem is with the non-availability of booking stations. With the network that KSRTC has, they can easily spread the booking network across Kerala and add more such services.

Regarding Ganesh Kumar : He indeed looked upon the basic issues like cleanliness/look and feel etc. It is true that the look and feel etc. of KSRTC buses were much better. But I doubt the quality, many of the luggage racks came off in a while. Above that KSRTC incurred huge losses by giving body building to private players. The heavy make took a hit on fuel efficiency, tyre wear and tear etc.

The current RT minister should visit Kollam Bus stand's toilet to start with. Maintaining toilets clean is also a part of work of KSRTC.; June 15, 2009 9:47 AM

Sankar said...: The main reason for the late running of Keralartc buses compared to the past season is that

the main cause is the road blocks and traffic jams. The number of vehicles is getting twice or thrice as compared to 4 years back.

The next reason for the slowing down of buses is mainly the Sped governors. For all classes even volvo also speed governor is fitted. Most of the Superfast and Fast passengers are tightened at 60-65 KMPH and Express and deluxe are tightened at 70-75 KMPh.Also the volvo gets maximum 90 KMPh; July 23, 2009 11:53 PM

can u inform to rtc authorities to change the route of the bnglr sdlx from kottayam(6.00 pm)
through piravom(kottayam-piravom-moovatupuzha).
there is no time lost &there is no depots btwn the existing routes so there is no chance of protection from people if the rtc make any change.only one boardingpoint at koothattukulam.this is a chance to save 13+lakhs rsfor ksrtc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
please inform

Rajesh said...: Pala KSRTC depot has requested to change the AC bus (current plying in the route Pala-Bangalore) with a Super Deluxe or Super Express. They claim that repairs of this bus is a headache. They have already sent a written request to Trivandrum officials.

According to Pala depot officials it is a tough job to maintain the service with AC Buses which can be repaired only by the company people. I wonder why this is not an issue with Kottayam or Thrissur depots. They have not said that this bus is in loss. In fact it is making a good revenue for KSRTC. Travellers have said that they prefer AC bus and the current buses break down with AC issues pretty often though.

Travellers forum is planning for a protest against this move of the officials. I wonder if this is due to any pressure from private bus lobby, they are currently suffering from loss after the induction of AC bus into this service.; November 4, 2009 9:46 AM
Anonymous said...: I am a frequent traveller and having a good knowledgwe of Karntaka RTC since 30 years. It would be better if Kerala RTC stops AC Buses & introduce Super FAst/Express buses which are cheaper & easily repairable. Also only Leyland buses should be procured. The AC Buses are really headache & unrepairable. Also the timings of Kannur/Tellicherry Buses should be advanced. Also the government should take initiative in allowing traffic on the Virajapet-Maakutta Road immediately & co-operating with Karnataka government in opening the road before 31-12-2009 as per High Court directive. Also the Kerala RTC should operate the buses to Ernakulam/Guruvayur/Trichur/Trivandrum on Bangalore-Salem-Coimbatore routes. These roads are good & safer. The condition of the vehicles will also be good.

The travel will be safer and it will take less time, also the price will be less and beneficial to the passengers. Really never travel to Ernakulam/Kottayam on the Sulthan Battery-Kozhikode routes, where the fare is very much higher. Other wise, I request fellow travellers to take the Train route or cut route from Bangalore to Salem & Salem-Coimbatore or Palakkad routes which will be time saving.

Anonymous said...: The Kerala RTC buses from Kannur/Tellicherry should start the buses from those above places at 6 or 6.30 pm so as to reach Bangalore at 5 a.m. Now the buses from Kannur/Tellicherry should take the Mananthavady/Tholpetty/Kutta/Gonikoppal route to reach Bangalore. Also Kerala RTC should introduce 2 more super express to Bangalore and also start a exclusive express service from Iritty-Bangalore after the Iritty-Makutta-Virajpet road is ready.

NAMBIAR KVR said...: The Kerala RTC & Karnataka RTC are operating all the buses to various part of Kerala through the Satellite Bus Station (Mysore Road). The people find it very difficult to reach the Satellite Bus Station early morning to catch the 6 am. Kozhikode SF Buses & 6.30 am. Perinthalmanna bus. Recently, I had to leave my home at Peenya Dasrahalli at 4.30 am. to reach the above Bus Station to catch the 6 am. Kozhikode SF Bus. During night time, the traffic is a problem. But reach the Mysore Road Satellite Bus Stand is a mental problem to all the people from far off places to reach and catch the buses to various parts of Kerala.; January 28, 2010 3:29 PM
Renjith said...: I have seen the timings of bangalore-kottayam volvo from Ka-srtc. It starts in bangalore by 19:00 and reaches kottayam next day at 11:00 am. The Thiruvalla delux bus and KTR deluxe of Kesrtc reaches thiruvalla by 10 am around . I wonder even after having a volvo why is it getting so much delayed. Is that Ka-srtc volvo fitted with 150 BHP engine. I dont know when KA-srtc are gonna improve their timing strategies.; January 31, 2010 11:02 AM
NAMBIAR KVR said...: Hats of to Kerala RTC, for the punctuality of the buses. All the Buses to Kannur/Payyannur/Thalassery & vice versa takes only 9 hours to reach the destination. While the Karnataka RTC & Private buses to the above destination takes 11-12 hours. The timings of the buses should be altered once the Kannur-Makkoota-Gonikoppal road is ready by 31-03-2010.; February 3, 2010 5:37 PM
