If there is one state that gets most preferential treatment, its Kerala.
.
SWR:
1. Not a single KA daily train has got LHB rakes. But CAN train got it and also additional UR coach, when long distance trains like Anga and ADI weekly suffer with less UR.
2....
more... That lonely train to coastal KA got split and a portion sent to CAN. Not happy with a daily train, but they had to split even the single train to coastal KA.
3. Island - hardly beneficial to KA, stopping at almost all stations of KL and starting from SBC - the central station.
4. A SF from UBL.
5. An ACSF from YPR.
6. A tri-weekly GR from YPR.
7. A special to ERS from YPR.
8. A weekly from YPR serving entire Malabar.
.
Now SR:
1. A day train from SBC to ERS.
2. 2 trains - weekly and bi-weekly to ERS from SBC.
3. A daily to KCVL from SBC.
4. A weekly long distance from KJM to TVC.
.
1. Many trains to KA are started from YPR saying SBC is congested. But look at so many trains being started from SBC for KL- still complaining.
2. One train.... Just one ON train from entire UK, DK, Udupi districts, that too they didn't leave for KA. They split it.....
3. A request to allow one capital tri-weekly to start from MAQ.... No....... always abusing local authorities about connectivity and this and that, but not allowing one train to start from MAQ. So many trains to TN capital and KL capital can start from MAQ, but god forbid one for the KA people from their city to their capital.
4. How many trains from MAQ to interior KA?
5. Mangaluru the cash cow - only one for PGT division - in terms of freight (NMPT) but nothing in terms of connectivity to KA.
.
Bus Lobby:
1. Who owns most of these private buses that run from KL to KA? Every KL traveller knows.
2. KSRTC (KL) runs buses from every town and city of KL to Bengaluru. But some KL members just see the fewer KSRTC (KA) buses and abuse that corporation as if they are responsible.
.
Why so many buses from every small towns and trains covering every nook and corner of KL (except Nilambur line)?????? Migration.
.
Is there any other state where so many trains from both home zone and neighbouring zone runs so many trains from KA? TN may come close but nowhere near KL.
.
Inspite of all this cribbing on and on and on.......... about one unintroduced train and abusing SWR - which exists for running trains to everywhere but KA.
Abusing bus lobby as though KSRTC (KA) is behind this but never acknowledging KSRTC (KL) innumerous buses (see Satellite bus stand or Shanthinagar bus stand) or private buses.
.
I apologise to MANY KL members if this post seems rude. But SOME (very FEW) KL members never recognise the fact that KL is the most served state from KA.
