The problem is the timing of these buses and their routes. I have no interest to travel through the Ghat Roads of Wayanad. Also the one through Palakkad are Super Express. The Volvo leaves Madiwala at around 5:30. May be if their is a Volvo to EKM via Palakkad leaving Madiwala around 7 or 8, it would have been very useful..
ReplyDeleteLook at the fare difference between TATA globus and Volvo. Garuda is cheaper than globus. In this case who wants to travel in Poorly built globus. Wish ksrtc to start some volvo services removing all these sub-standard tata buses.
ReplyDeleteCORRECTION IN TIMING VOLVO IS AT 1700 not 1500
ReplyDeletealso compare fares of AC AIRBUS and VOLVO... the volvo is cheaper and faster than AC buses....
ReplyDeletethose AC buses should be rerouted through PLKD-CBE-SLM or GDLR-MYSE instead of going through KKD-SBY-MYSE. why waste time, money and fuel unnecessarily??
Is there volvo to be started to Calicut ?
ReplyDeleteHi Sujith
ReplyDeleteAny chance of starting Onam special as we can see BAngalore-TVM volvo and most of good are services are already fully occupied for 20-08-2010 .Normally karnataka and Kerala used to annouce the new services but didnt heard this time.
