Planning to take the Karnataka State Road
Transport Corporation (KSRTC) or private bus any time soon? Well, you better leave behind all the single-use plastic items you were thinking of carrying. This is so that you get used to a new rule, that is likely to be introduced if the
KSRTC and railway authorities firm up on a ban on this higly polluting material.
“We have organised a meeting with the KSRTC officials and railway authorities to discuss preventing passengers carrying single-use plastic during the transit,’’ said

The recent surge in cases in neighbouring States as well as the ongoing border tension has hit the cash-strapped Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC). A year after the outbreak of COVID-19, the RTC is still struggling to improve patronage for its inter-State services, especially for its AC buses.
Last year, it had resumed inter-State services in a phased manner and had gradually started increasing the number of buses operated. A dip in COVID-19 cases in December was a silver lining in an otherwise dark cloud. However, the surge in COVID-19 cases in States such as Maharashtra now, has dashed any hope of a revival. Officials say only 40% of its fleet of air-conditioned buses are currently operating on inter-state routes.
