How old are they?

By and large State Transport Undertakings scrap buses after around 8 years.

Yesterday I could see JNT122 non ac low floor and JNT20 volvo. I think, currently we have non ac s - JNT31 to JNT122 and volvos JNT1 to JNT20. As far as i can remember 120 non ac low floors are supposed to be the part of TVM fleet. So another 28 will be joining the fleet soon, am i right?

Now a days, the KSRTC officials are not seen anywhere in dailies with figures. Seems facts are not favourable for them to come up with comparisons as they were once doing.

I guess it will be another 37 - 9 Volvos (JNT21-29) and 28 Non-A/C (123-150)

Sujith, as you said last week few more Non AC JNTs joined the fleet. Till last week KSRTC's inchakkal parking yard was house full with new JNTs at least 30(What I feel, may be more or less, not sure exactly), now the parking yard is empty. Now again started flooding with new JNTs in Inchakkal parking yard, i think we can expect few more buses in the coming weeks, Yesterday i saw few JNTs are parked in their Ashok Leyland showroom in Karamana, i think it is for registration.

Good to see a lot of new JNT AC/ Non AC buses everywhere in the city at any time. After the initial hiccups New generations buses started doing good busineess, most of the new buses introduced in almost all routes are full, particularly East Fort- Neyyatikara , East Fort - Technopark & East Fort - Pothencode - Venjarnmoode routes

Our Old Vintage Double Ducker bus has started running in the East Fort - Kovalam route. I saw the bus near Kovalam last saturday morning around 8:45, I think its a regular KSRTC vervice, route board was also placed. I dont think this bus is rented out for tourists.

Many JNT buses are introduced between Eastfort and Kaliyikkavila route and are getting very good response.

No, this bus is rented out for tourists. Last week i read the news in Mathrubhumi Trivandrum edition as the bus had the maiden trip with TCS staff and family.

Yes, now we can see Low floor buses any time - any were in the city and the buses are full of passengers.

Volvo Buses right from the Central Railway Station yard for passengers coming by the commuter trains in night, like Jan Shatabdi.

The buses will cover the route Thampanoor- Pattom-Kesavadasapuram-Ulloor-Medical College-Kumarapuram-Kannammoola-Pallimukku-East Fort.

Planning to have bus services starting from Trivandrum Pettah Railway station also.

See the rush in the bus at the Central Station.
