Kerala State Road Transport Corporation Launches Cargo Service to Boost Revenue
The Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) launched a cargo service to enhance its logistics operations and increase non-ticket revenue. The initiative, flagged off by Transport Minister C P John at Thiruvananthapuram Domestic Airport, began with five trucks transporting mobile phones from Thiruvananthapuram to Aluva. KSRTC plans to expand the fleet to over 100 trucks, drawing on successful models from other state transport corporations. The revenue generated will support KSRTC passengers, with logistics partners assisting in operations.
