KSRTC is boosting their luxury bus fleet with 20 brand-new Volvo Airavat Club Class 2.0 buses by the end of this month. This is a big deal for them as they continue to shine as one of India’s leading state transport services while keeping up with the demand for comfy rides.
Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy got a sneak peek of these slick new buses at the Volvo factory in Hoskote on October 7. Each bus is a bit pricey at ₹1.78 crore, but it seems like a solid investment! With 443 luxury buses already in the mix, KSRTC is definitely leveling up.
What’s New About the Buses?
So, what can you expect from these new rides? They’re designed to be more spacious—3.5% longer for extra legroom and 5.6% taller for more headroom. Plus, the windshield is 9.5% wider for better visibility, making those trips safer.
But wait, there’s more! These new models are packed with cool features like comfy interiors, sleek Scandinavian designs, and 20% more luggage space. Safety is a priority too; the buses come with an efficient fire alarm system with water nozzles ready for emergencies. Plus, better visibility for drivers helps keep pedestrians safe.
With these upgrades, KSRTC isn’t just keeping pace; they’re setting the standard for a better travel experience. Looks like road trips in Karnataka are about to get way more comfy.
