The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) will reschedule the unprofitable services as part of its cost-cutting measures, Transport Minister K.B. Ganesh Kumar has said.
Speaking after launching the new edition of KSRTC newsletter Anavandi.com here on Thursday, the Minister, however, said that the services would not be stopped in a way that inconveniences passengers.
The Minister also distributed new uniform introduced for KSRTC employees – khaki pants and shirts- to nine employees at the function. The Minister said that the authorities have been instructed to put the name or pen number of the conductor and driver on the new uniforms. He also informed that Anavandi.com would be released as an e-book.
He said that discussions were held with KSRTC officials and that the reforms in connection with the services would be implemented within a week. The Minister also added that changes will be brought in the city of Thiruvananthapuram first. The Minister inspected two newly purchased open double-decker buses for KSRTC SWIFT under the Thiruvananthapuram Smart City project on the occasion.
