The Minister said the KSRTC has introduced various schemes that are intended to improve the efficiency and productivity of its employees.
They will receive an additional incentive batta equivalent to 3% of the revenue obtained from unreserved passengers in Volvo and Scania buses.
Moreover, best conductors and drivers of each depot will be presented a cash prize of ₹1,000 every month. Employees securing the award for 12 consecutive months will receive additional increment and a citation. Depots that are adjudged the best on a monthly basis in each zone will win a prize amount of ₹1 lakh that will be used for infrastructural development. Furthermore, depots that are selected for the honour for six times within a year will be awarded ₹1 crore.
In a bid to rein in its fuel expenses, the KSRTC will provide ₹100 per day to those drivers who achieve a fuel efficiency of above 5 kilometres per litre of diesel.
He said the KSRTC will soon launch women-friendly services from Taliparamba, Thalassery and Koothuparamba to the Kannur town. Such services will be extended to other places depending on their success
