KSRTC raises charges for hiring its buses for trips and functions in Karnataka
The corporation cited higher diesel and staff costs; new per-kilometre rates cover all classes of bus, from ordinary to Ambaari Utsav.
The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has raised the rates it charges for hiring its buses for tours, weddings and other functions, Vijay Karnataka reported on 9 November.
The corporation said rising costs of diesel and staff led to the change. The revised rates apply to every class of bus it hires out under casual contracts, including ordinary Sarige buses, Rajahamsa, Airavat and the Ambaari Utsav sleeper coaches. A new rate list covers seven types of vehicle, with charges set per kilometre.
The revision applies to groups and families who book a whole bus for a trip or an event.
People planning to hire a bus should check the new per-kilometre rate with their nearest KSRTC depot before booking.
