Thiruvananthapuram: The KSRTC has introduced a chartered bus service for Sabarimala pilgrims to ensure safe and convenient travel during the Mandala-Makaravilakku pilgrimage season, Transport Minister C P John said on Friday. He was speaking after inaugurating a booking counter of the Keralam State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) at the 24-hour control room set up at the Travancore Devaswom Board headquarters here.
Individuals, families, groups of devotees and various organisations can book KSRTC chartered buses in advance according to their travel requirements, the minister said.
Chartered services can be arranged based on the number of passengers, place of departure, date, time and duration of the journey.
The facility will enable pilgrims to travel directly to Pamba and back from their respective localities, he said.
The services will be organised through the KSRTC Budget Tourism Cell, which has also introduced an online reservation facility for the purpose.
Special services to Pamba will be operated on demand, focusing on temples located near various KSRTC depots and special service centres, the minister said.
KSRTC has also made arrangements for pilgrims to take rest during their journey, he added.
