 ๐ŸšŒ Travel Tales: Decoding the KSRTC Journey from Bangalore to Davanagere

Ever wondered what exactly goes into your bus ticket fare? ๐ŸŽŸ️ We recently took a midnight trip from the heart of Bangalore to the "Manchester of Karnataka," Davanagere, and here is the breakdown of the journey!

1. The Midnight Express ๐ŸŒ™

The journey kicked off at 12:22 AM on an Express Service (KA17 F1911). While most of the city sleeps, the KSRTC "Sarige" buses are the unsung heroes keeping the state connected 24/7.

2. Fare Breakdown: Where does your ₹362 go?

KSRTC is known for its transparency. For this 260km trip, the total cost was ₹362. Here is the "micro-math" behind the ticket:

Highway Tolls: ₹43.00 (Ensuring a smoother ride on NH48).

Accident Relief Fund (ARF): ₹1.00 (A tiny price for passenger safety insurance).

Infrastructure Development Fund (IDF): ₹1.00 (Helping maintain our bus stands).

Base Fare: The remaining amount covers the fuel, the skilled driver, and the hardworking conductor.

3. Why We Love State Transport

At roughly ₹1.40 per kilometer, it remains one of the most affordable and reliable ways to travel across Karnataka. Whether you are a student, a trader, or a traveler, the red-and-yellow buses are a symbol of home.

4. Pro-Tips for the Route:

Duration: Expect a 5 to 6-hour journey.

Booking: You can always visit ksrtc.karnataka.gov.in to book in advance, though for Express buses, hopping on at the stand is the classic way to go!

Next time you hold one of these small paper slips, take a second to look at the details. It’s more than just a receipt; it’s a passport to your next destination! ๐Ÿ“

  Why is the Mona Lisa So Famous? AUTHOR:  MICHAEL JOHNSON  \  MARCH 26, 2019 \  ARTICLES   \ 0 COMMENTS Creativity and Art Ever noticed that whenever people have a discussion about art somehow it diverts to become a topic on creativity. But many do believe that the two have no connection whatsoever. Creativity is not art but we can definitely say that art is creativity. The reason why we are so comfortable saying that is because art is design, the ability to manipulate anything that comes to mind. It does involve a little bit of creativity but it is not creativity. Art is the freedom of interpretation that has no rules, unlike  south  african  casino  games  they have many rules. You can decide to see a different thing from what everyone else can see or hear or feel. That is art. The famous painting of Mona Lisa is worth talking about. It is not a usual thing when people mention art and do not mention the painting of Mona Lis...

Man and Nature in India: The Ecological Balance This piece is extracted from "Man and Nature in India: The Ecological Balance," included in A Bird's Eye View: The Collected Essays and Shorter Writings of Salim Ali. Salim Ali Jaments the human tendency to over-exploit the environment and to kill creatures indiscriminately but what makes this essay extraordinary is that instead of suggesting various methods of nature conservation and reclamation of threatened resources, he recommends a revolutionary step. As the root cause of environmental exploitation and degradation is explosion of human population. tough measures have to be taken to check our numbers, and in achieving this aim bio-mimicry is an option that may be considered.
