KSRTC’s first-phase new bus terminal project at Karikkamuri near the Ernakulam bus stand is set to begin after the Public Works Department awarded the ₹9.23 crore construction tender to SITCO Associates. The first phase is expected to be a single-storey terminal with dedicated bus bays and provision for later vertical expansion, with completion targeted within 18 months of PWD signing the agreement with the contractor.
Why it matters
A new terminal at Karikkamuri is intended to address recurring waterlogging issues at the existing bus stand, improving bus operations and passenger access during rainfall.
