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

 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“
