I would like to share my first experience with KSRTC AIRAVATH VOLVO bus.I am traveling with KSRTC Volvo bus for the last six months in Ooty-Bangalore route via Mudumalai and Bandipur sanctuaries and back regularly.
I booked ticket through online and selected seat in the front row. I reached ooty bus stand half an hour early and the bus was on time. I kept the luggage in the under carriage with identification tag on it. The bus was full in no time as it is summer season.
The bus was neat and clean, seats were comfortable and smooth. They provided blankets, water bottle, sickness bag and freshener tissue. I felt very comfortable and slept as soon as I boarded the bus. I dint felt any disturbances or vibrations while traveling in the hilly area though the Gudalur route roads have blind turns.
I wake up when they stopped at Mudhumalai forest check point. Only two KSRTC VOLVO buses and two Tamilnadu state government bus were allowed to pass in nights through the mudhumalai forest as wild animals were active during night. Other vehicles has to wait in the check posts till morning. The window glasses are big and clean. I had a good view of elephants, deer’s, wild buffalos while traveling through Mudhumalai and Bandipur Forestsin the night.
Airavat Volvo buses were far good compare to Tamilnadu, Andhra Pradesh state Government buses and some private travels. I am regularly traveling for the last 6 months, every time it reaches Bangalore before the scheduled time. The drivers and conductors were helpful. The drive drove safely and at steady speed. He was very cautious when driving through the forest. He slowed down atleast 100m before whenever he saw elephant and deer’s on the road sides.
I always feel safe will traveling in Airavat Volvo Buses. Overall KSRTC provides an excellent services and love to travel in AIRVAT VOLVO buses again and again.
