KSRTC to start Bengaluru airport-Kozhikode Flybus service on August 15

The Story in Brief

The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation will launch two daily Flybus services between Kempegowda International Airport and Kozhikode from August 15. The buses will travel through Yelahanka, Hebbal, Nayandahalli, Mysuru, Hunsur, Gonikoppa, Ponnampet, Kutta, Mananthawadi and Kalpetta.

One bus will leave the airport at 10.45 pm and reach Kozhikode at 7.15 am. The other will depart at 4.15 am and arrive at 7.30 pm. KSRTC has set fares at Rs 960 to Mysuru, Rs 1,200 to Gonikoppa, Rs 1,350 to Mananthawadi, Rs 1,400 to Kalpetta and Rs 1,500 to Kozhikode.

The Indian Opinion

The new service gives airport travellers a direct road link to northern Kerala, but claims of a major transport shift would be premature. The real test is whether both daily services maintain their schedules and attract passengers despite the long journey. KSRTC’s occupancy figures after the first month will show whether the Rs 1,500 Kozhikode fare is competitive.
