The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has requested approval to launch new bus services connecting Mangaluru and Karkala, addressing increasing public demand for better transportation options between the two towns. The proposal aims to enhance connectivity and improve the travel experience for daily commuters, students, and tourists.

The Mangaluru-Karkala route is expected to reduce travel time and provide a more accessible and affordable mode of transport, especially for those who rely on private vehicles or other forms of transport.

The approval request follows several representations from the public, highlighting the need for better road transport options. This initiative is expected to strengthen the state’s public transportation system and support sustainable mobility.
