The initiative is designed to ensure seamless and affordable travel for the public during one of the busiest holiday periods in the region.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The special services will primarily originate from key hubs in Bengaluru, including the Mysuru Road Bus Station and the Shanthinagar Bus Station (BMTC), connecting passengers to major destinations across Kerala such as Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Kozhikode, Kannur, Palakkad, and Kottayam. All premium-class special buses will be operated exclusively from the Shanthinagar Bus Station.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Streamlined Booking and Passenger Advisory<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">To facilitate a hassle-free experience, the corporation has enabled advanced computerized reservations for all special services. Travelers are strongly advised to book their tickets early through the official KSRTC website at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ksrtc.karnataka.gov.in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.ksrtc.karnataka.gov.in<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">A key advisory from the corporation urges passengers with reserved tickets to carefully note their designated boarding point mentioned on their ticket to avoid any last-minute confusion or missed departures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Substantial Discounts on Group and Return Travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">In a move to encourage group and round-trip travel, KSRTC is offering attractive financial incentives. A 5% discount on the fare will be applied for bookings of four or more passengers on a single ticket. Furthermore, passengers who book their onward and return journey tickets simultaneously will receive a 10% discount on the return leg of their trip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">The return operation has also been planned, with special buses scheduled to run from various locations in Kerala back to Bengaluru on September 7, catering to the post-festival rush.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Wide Network for Ticket Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Beyond online bookings, advance reservation tickets can also be procured physically at KSRTC booking counters established in major cities across neighbouring states, including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Kerala, Puducherry, Maharashtra, and Goa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">&#8220;Media Updates: <strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">+91-93531 21474<\/span><\/strong> [WhatsApp] |\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/mailto:indianowme@gmail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">indianowme@gmail.com<\/a>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"><strong>Comprehensive Travel Information Available<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\">Detailed information regarding the special bus services, including specific departure times, exact boarding points, and routes, has been updated across the corporation\u2019s computerized reservation network and is available for public viewing on the KSRTC official website.
