\u201cThough the corporation had to endure a loss of Rs.620 crore, we could save around Rs.300 crore after making some tactical changes recently. To solve the rest of the issues, we will come up with necessary changes soon,\u201d Said Transport Minister Thiruvanchoor Radhakrishnan.<\/p>\n
KSRTC is now on the path of modernisation and will have to think out-of-the-box if it needs to outsmart Karnataka. People prefer Karnataka buses because of the state-of-the-art tech and comfort offered by the services they run.<\/p>\n
