Minister flags off shuttle service on HMT Jn.-medical college route
The KSRTC will run a city circular bus service, with Kalamassery as the base, if the municipality provides adequate parking space, Minister for Transport Antony Raju said here on Saturday.
Flagging off a shuttle bus service launched on the HMT Junction-Government Medical College-Kalamassery route, he said electric buses would be deployed for the circular service. Earlier, Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve had sought a circular bus service in the city.
Mr. Raju said patronage for a similar service was improving in Thiruvananthapuram, where 82 buses operate on seven circular routes every 10 minutes. They operate clockwise and anti-clockwise trips, including through side roads. Passengers who purchase a Good Day Ticket can make unlimited trips for 24 hours.

The High Court of Karnataka on Tuesday ordered the issue of a notice to the State government on a PIL petition, which had complained about disturbances caused to people residing in the localities around the National Public School situated in Rajajinagar 5th block due to use of loudspeakers with high volume in the school and parking of school buses in residential areas.
