THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The KSRTC will run special services to clear the rush of devotees for the Attukal Pongala to be held on Tuesday. Cut-chase buses will be run from all depots between Ernakulam to Thiruvananthapuram to Attukal.
“The existing fleet of 45 chain service buses to the temple will be enhanced to 55 on Sunday itself. The increase in fleet strength will be in a phased manner. An Assistant Road Transport officer will keep special vigil to identify private buses that defy route permit and ply towards the temple. We don’t think they will dare to eat into our revenues like last time,” a KSRTC official said.
The KSRTC staffers will operate special services in two shifts. The first will be between 1a.m. and 7a.m. before Pongala and the second from 1p.m. and 6 p.m. to clear the devotees after Naivedyam.
