Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) is all set to launch new multi-axle sleeper AC bus services to Kerala, aiming to provide a more comfortable travel experience for passengers commuting between the two states. The new buses are part of the “Ambari” series, which are known for their luxurious amenities.
Here’s what you can expect with the new Ambari buses on the Karnataka RTC Kerala route:
- Types of Ambari buses:
- Ambari Utsav Class: These buses will operate services to Ernakulam.
- Ambari Dream Class:This class will be running on the Kottayam and Alappuzha routes.
- Sleeper vs. Semi-sleeper: The new Ambari services will replace the older semi-sleeper Airavat Club Class buses on the Alappuzha and Kottayam routes, providing a significant upgrade in comfort. Sleeper buses typically have berths that allow passengers to lie down almost flat for sleeping, while semi-sleeper seats recline to a lesser angle.
- Expected Launch: The new Ambari buses are expected to start operating within a month.
