Full version of the note:
Not to beat anyone …
K-Swift, KSRTC’s new initiative to protect the fair travel freedom of ordinary travelers …
Is starting to see results …
Dear …
You know the facts …
K-Swift, an innovative initiative of KSRTC, has been able to identify the lies spread on social media and online media in a manner that has been widely misunderstood by the public since its inception.
We posted yesterday “Who is afraid of KSRTC Swift? Why?” Within hours of the story, private contract carriage buses began to reduce their high fares. That’s all we wanted for KSRTC, to provide people with affordable travel.
Even those who said that the KSRTC Swift buses launched by the Kerala government are causing widespread accidents have had to change their minds. The Bangalore-Thiruvananthapuram private bus service was charged between Rs 4,000 and Rs 5,000 yesterday evening. But when you look at the booking site, it looks like “From Rs.1599”. After the holidays like Vishu, Onam and Christmas, the media may have noticed the shift to another subject after covering the robbery. At that time we could not find a solution with KSRTC buses. The emergence of the KSRTC Swift is the solution to all this.
Following the KSRTC Facebook post yesterday, we are adding to this post a screen shot of the private bus lobbies reducing excessive fares.
KSRTC is always with the passengers and the passengers own.
