Puttur MLA Ashok Kumar Rai said that Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) will commence non-stop services between district headquarters Mangalore and Puttur for the benefit of commuters. MLA told officials not to discontinue any service during the monsoon as such a move would affect students. He told them to inform him if there is a shortage of buses.
The non-stop service from Puttur to State Bank terminal in Mangalore would start with six buses. The services would not stop at places en-route and end trips at the respective destinations. At present, express services halt at important stops en-route, which inconveniences point-to-point travellers. Following requests by such passengers, the non-stop services were being introduced, he said. One could reach the destination within an hour. Brand new coaches would be pressed into service
