The service connects Muvattupuzha and Kolencherry municipalities and the two panchayats. Kochi: To address the travel crisis of locals in Marady and Thirumarady panchayats, a KSRTC Priyadarshini bus was launched on Sunday.
“When Muvattupuzha MLA allotted Rs 3 crore for repairing the road via Mannathur and Vadakara, the locals asked us what use is the road if there is no bus service available. They had to spend a good amount on travelling purposes and that is why a service of KSRTC has been launched.

Two services will be conducted daily,” said Marady panchayat president Shanty Ebraham. It has been a long-standing demand since the KSRTC bus operating through the panchayats stopped service during the Covid pandemic. The service operates via Mannathur and Vadakara. Currently, locals only have a single service operating in the morning and evening, forcing them to use autorickshaws in emergency situations. Download the TOI App.
