THE KSRTC, which often catches flak for bus bunching — where two or more buses on the same route travel closely together thereby affecting revenue — has decided to take the help of artificial intelligence (AI) to solve the problem.

The state-run carrier is set to implement an AI-based software to manage its bus schedules.

"We're in the process of purchasing software that supports AI. The primary review and technical examinations are all over. It'll be for the first time in the country, an AI-based software is used for bus scheduling by a transport corporation," said Transport Minister K B Ganesh Kumar. From now, no new services will be deployed on the decision of an individual, but on the basis of the suggestion by the software. The ticketing machine data and the duty patterns of staff will be fed into the software.
