BENGALURU: The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has decided to resume intra-state AC services from Thursday. However, it will not provide blankets on night-service buses.
In a statement on Wednesday, KSRTC said it will commence operation of AC buses in a phased manner.
Under phase 1, services will be operated from Bengaluru to Mysuru, Mangaluru, Kundapura, Madikeri, Chikmagalur, Davanagere, Shivamogga and Virajpet.
“Temperature inside buses will be maintained at 24-25 degrees Celsius as per the norm,” said a release. It added that to prevent the spread of Covid-19, blankets will not be provided in the night-service buses and passengers must carry their own blanket.
KSRTC has been operating non-AC intra-state services as well as inter-city services to Andhra Pradesh.
Passengers can book tickets on www.ksrtc.in or through the corporation’s advance reservation counters.
