Cochin: Kerala State Road Transport Corporation to start buses from Thevara to Aluva via the new four lane Vallarpadam road from 31st of this month.

Now there are a few new Thriru kochi buses alloted to Ankamaly Depot. But these new services are running in the existing local routes(Aluva – Ankamaly – Chalakudy). So it is not getting the advantage of city buses to Ankamaly. It is better to change the routes of these ThiruKochi buses to run in Ankamaly – Ernakulam route…..
Is there any lowfloor buses in Ankamaly – Infopark route……….
