KSRTC's 'City Ride' service, featuring open-top double-decker buses, has become a popular evening attraction in Thiruvananthapuram. The guided tours offer views of prominent landmarks and festive New Year lighting, with commentary from a crew member. While popular, some travelers have noted safety concerns regarding low-hanging branches brushing against the bus. The service operates hourly from East Fort, with potential route adjustments due to traffic and police directives, and passengers are advised to pre-book tickets.
