BANGALORE: From the good old ‘Red’ bus to the latest Mercedes-Benz model, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has traversed a gap of more than 60 years striving to outdo its performance and provide better facilities. Presently, any latest model entering the market is being purchased by the KSRTC, which is competing with the best private bus operators in the State. Once branded as an ‘unfriendly’ mode of transport due to rattling noises of glass windows, jammed doors, dirt inside the bus and non-cooperative staff, today, such things are a distant part of history. KSRTC’s trendy buses zoom through the State and national highways with a welcome face on drivers and conductors. The KSRTC buses have been named after mythologicial characters.

As the travelling cost of the commuters has changed thanks to growing economy, even the Corporation is improving to meet the demands of public. Now, the Volvo buses are seen on every nook and corner of the city. KSRTC has employe d new technology in its operations. Passengers can book their seats online.
