Mysuru: Buoyed through the good fortune of the ‘Open Bus’ rides introduced within the Heritage City to visitors throughout Dasara celebrations as another appeal, the state govt has now made up our minds to ply double-decker buses in Mysuru. In all, chief minister HD Kumaraswamy allotted Rs five crore within the price range he tabled on Friday for procurement of six double-decker buses – four of that are for Mysuru, and two for Hampi.
Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) introduced Open Buses throughout the ‘Naada Habba’ to give vacationers a possibility to drink within the many architectural marvels dotting the cityscape while in transit. Now, the double-decker buses, modeled alongside the red buses that ply on the streets of London, will likely be an added vacationer appeal.
KSTDC managing director Kumar Pushkar advised IdealNews that the fleet of six double-decker buses could be ready to function in time for Dasara. “We are making plans on rolling them out for the Dasara celebrations, and are hoping for a favorable reaction from the visitors.”
Pushkar mentioned that KSTDC was once proud of the reaction among locals and visitors alike to the Open Bus. “Seats on the bus had been booked two days prematurely. It was once the good fortune of that challenge that precipitated KSTDC to push the federal government to propose double-decker buses,” he added.
Stakeholders within the tourism sector in Mysuru are delighted with the CM’s proposal, and are satisfied that the buses will likely be an added appeal on the vacationer itinerary when they discuss with the Heritage City.
President of the Mysore Travel Association BS Prashanth expressed the desire for the state govt to paintings against turning this undertaking right into a fact on the earliest. “We welcome the federal government’s proposal to have double-decker streets plying on the city’s streets. But we can have to wait and spot how this will likely be applied. Visitors will, I am positive, prefer staring at the many heritage buildings from a higher vantage point that buses supply than from inside automobiles,” Prashanth advised TOI.
