ksrtc is a govt bus. it provides good service like clean comfortable seats in express buses too. properly keeping to time, adhering to the TT. one can complain to the crew of any problem with co-passenger and it gets attention. all these are not guaranteed in a train. right?
... private bus operators we can/should blame for not allowing trains to mangaluru , but why ksrtc? it our money that bought the bus.. its profit provides more better newer buses to us. ... its our bus - public bus.. to put it simply.

more...
anger needs to be directed towards private bus cartel.
.....
take salem or anathapur for example. so many tnstc/ksrtc, apsrtc/ksrtc buses ply inspite of good no. of trains. why? because though costlier people have faith in govt. buses. buses are clean, stick to schedule and we get an assured seat. unlike trains where even reserved seats are not assured if UR people come and occupy. cleanliness is not good. we all know how late trains are.
.....
and finally i don't think govt. corporations bribe govt. corporations...... who will pay the bribe? what account will you show in official records? will you put the bribe as "bribe to swr"? there is PAC and CAG, when auditing happens, won't they ask where the money went.? wont RTI activists, opposition, press easily find ..............
no.... govt. doesn't bribe govt.....
yes private bus lobby perhaps.....
