They will operate trips from Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi to Bengaluru
The much-awaited airconditioned Volvo sleeper buses that conform to Euro-VI emission norms will join the KSRTC’s fleet of premium buses in 10 days’ time, for services to Bengaluru.
They will operate trips from both Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi to Bengaluru, a route which has demand all through the year, said KSRTC Managing Director Biju Prabhakar. “The eight buses will create history, since it will be the first time in India that a bus manufacturer is building a sleeper-class body,” he said.
The body-building job is generally done by firms which have expertise in that sector. Each bus priced at ₹1.50 crore will have 39 sleeper berths, with charger sockets in all berths. They will also have fire detection and suppression system (FDSS) and CCTVs that face the interiors and exteriors. Their light-weight body and BS-VI engine are expected to provide higher fuel efficiency.
