Christmas arrives, riding a KSRTC bus
Commuters waiting at the High Court Junction bus stop were surprised when a KSRTC bus pulled in all decked up for Christmas on Friday morning. A group of passengers who have been regularly using the Kodungalloor-Aroor bus via Vypeen for years thought it would be great to celebrate Christmas on board the bus.
The passengers had decorated the bus with paper ornaments and stars.
“We are a united lot and this is not the first time we are celebrating a festivity. People from all religions travel in this bus and we celebrate every festival with utmost joy,” said Soma Sundaran, who works in Kochi and is a regular passenger in the bus.
The festivities began as soon as the crowd in the bus became considerable and the merriments peaked as the bus reached Vypeen. The passengers greeted pedestrians and travellers in other buses as the bus made the journey towards Kodungalloor.
