TechnoparkToday.com>> September 18, 2014: After the successful operation of buses to and from Technopark, KSRTC city depot has launched an outer ring service for techies on a trial basis. Now Techies can depend on the public transportation system for their daily commutation.
In the meantime, Technopark Express was served a stop memo by Kazhakuttom RTO for functioning without proper permit. Two Technopark Express buses were circulating through the campus every half-an-hour during the working hours for Techies. KSRTC officials filed complaint against this service which covers most of the nearby places of Technopark including Kazhakuttom railway station. Then the motor vehicle department intervened and stopped the service.
KSRTC’s new outer ring service will take East Fort-Pattom-Medical College- Sreekariyam-Kariavatoom-Kazhakuttom-Technopark- Tripadapuram-Arasumoodu route. Two KSRTC buses will be operating through this route. According to KSRTC sources, the services will be available in every 15 minutes.
Anther services through the route Technopark-NH Bypass-Infosys-World Market- Venpalavattom-Petta-Palayam-Bakery jn-Thirumala-Malainkeel will be launched soon.
Kazhakuttom Railway Station, of the major drop point of techies is not covering in any of these KSRTC routes.
Technopark express was very helpful for us. There was a security staff from technopark always present in the bus. No worries travelling in late hours. I fear the security and safety using the KSRTC bus in late hours after shifts…!!
Don’t know whether the new KSRTC service can replace the service provided by the private Technopark Express service. They used to conduct services in a very friendly manner, and the bus staff were even waiting for a few minutes if techies are late etc.
Please raise all of your concerns to the authorities, and hope they will replicate the same.
Yes..its correct. In thrippadapuram area, we are staying in a hostel. After after noon shift we usually uses Technopark express to reach hostel. The staff of that bus were very cooperative and helpful always. I never expect that kind of a service from KSRTC.
Technopark Express bus keeps up the schedule. I wonder if KSRTC bus will keep up the timings. Somedays, some of the volvo buses operated by KSRTC are missing, especially on Saturdays. Techexpress was indeed a helpful, in all these times and also at lunch time.

It will be good to have a time table published and available for public access as to what time the buses pass through each boarding point.
Earlier, TechnExpress would start from Karyavattom at 8:45 and now its not operated from there. Would be better if they provide a service from Karyavattom.
Please understand KSRTC does not know the value of time. They never run a service punctually making people wait indefinitely at the bus stops.
They put time tables but you never see a bus in that time.
I stay in Crystal homes at backgate. Techno park Express was such a help for all the girls staying near back gate. KSRTC buses running currently are not at all efficient. They never come in time. They don’t have a fixed time. For especially girls it is not feasible to stand in a bus stand alone for 45 min every day waiting for bus. Tech express use to run on fixed time like 7:20 , 8:00 which helped us to manage our work accordingly and reach our homes safely.
Its so sad to see that the concerns of so many girls are unheard. What firstly matters is safety of women working in techno park, which is completely unseen.
All the girls staying near backgate are facing a lot of issues with logistics.
Girls have started going at 8 am in morning so that they can come back before it is dark. It is affecting our work.
I request on behalf of all the girls to the authority to please take an action on this as soon as possible.
Would appreciate if Tech express is again bought, if not at least request you to have KSRTC timings similar to Tech express timings and also making sure that it follows the time as tech express use to do.
Also can any one help me to know who is the concerned authority to be contacted for this issue.
