It's cool, say passengers to KSRTC's converted superfast AC bus service

For passengers forced to travel long distances during the day under the unforgiving sun, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation's (KSRTC) superfast AC service could not have arrived at a better time.

No wonder, the first of the carrier's superfast AC services launched on experimental basis earlier this week, is running at full capacity and raking in good collections.

The new Swift superfast buses with glass windows are being converted to AC buses at KSRTC workshops to operate the new Superfast AC services.

The best part? Commuters need to pay only 10 per cent more than the Superfast bus fare to travel in the cool comfort of the AC buses.

The first superfast AC bus, converted at the Chalakkudy workshop, was deployed on the Thiruvananthapuram-Ernakulam route from April 21.
