Rates reduced from ₹30 to ₹10
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has announced reduction in rates for online reservation for commuters from the New Year onwards.
The reservation charges have now been reduced from ₹30 to ₹10. There will be no cancellation charges for cancelling tickets till 72 hours before the journey.
Cancellation charges of 10% of the ticket base rate will be charged for cancelling tickets between 72 hours and 48 hours before the journey, while the same will be 25% for cancelling between 48 hours and 24 hours, 40% for cancelling between 24 hours and 12 hours and 50% for cancelling between 12 and 2 hours before the journey. Cancellation will not be allowed after the two-hour limit.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
