# KSRTC Business Class buses to launch on Thiruvananthapuram route 2026-08-06T18:42:04+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet KSRTC will launch its Business Class Volvo bus service from Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam on 13 August, according to Mathrubhumi. From 16 August, the buses are also scheduled to run between Alappuzha and Bengaluru. The deployment differs from the original plan, which envisaged these luxury buses serving the Thiruvananthapuram to Ernakulam corridor. The 35-seat buses have two seats per row, leather reclining seats, individual screens, charging points, footrests and curtains. They also include toilets, a pantry and light refreshments. KSRTC had planned a three-and-a-half to four-hour Thiruvananthapuram to Kochi service after highway work, with a bus hostess assisting passengers, but the current route plan places the buses on the Alappuzha to Bengaluru sector. ## Coverage - english.mathrubhumi.com Tags: Alappuzha-Bengaluru, Kerala, KSRTC, public transport, Volvo buses Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/ksrtc-business-class-buses-to-launch-on-thiruvananthapuram-route/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
