THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The KSRTC is planning to start super-fast bus services from the capital city to Kochi. The specialty is that electric buses are used for this purpose. The KSRTC is targeting popular services as a new change in the public sector. Thiruvananthapuram-Ernakulam service is being introduced aiming train passengers. Only five stops are permitted in the route.

Five electric air-conditioned buses were there during Sabarimala season and it was a big success. When you spend Rs 31 per kilometer for diesel in low floor buses, only Rs 6 are needed for electric buses. Another specialty is that it cuts down on air and sound pollution levels.
