IR profit goes directly to central govt, where as KSRTC profit will go to KA state govt, I am not against state govt, KSRTC is one of best bus fleet service in Asia proud of it. But here increase in number of ksrtc fleet means increase in state fund treasury. Where as railways can play spoil sport by just adding 2-3 day/night trains to Mangaluru. Or in other words Railways are happy with more number of freight trains on this route, which bring profit to National treasury and KSRTC are happy with more number of buses. Mutual understanding
