expected to go a long way in helping passengers

service developed by the Kerala State IT Mission.

21.  KSRTC cannot operate in the way it had been over
the past 60 odd years anymore. The “Single
Behemoth Corporation” model is one of the past
in this fast age of mobility, agility and micro
management. KSRTC should be ruthlessly
corportaized in line with the modern corporation
if it has to survive. Being a public corporation it is
still fine if it doesn’t function for profit, but some
profit does not hurt, which of course should
immediately be pushed back should do is to split
the corporation into at least three separate
corporations or even better into with their own
CEO’s and boards.
