KSRTC Bus Trip Marred by Leakage and Fog
Imagine you're on a bus trip, but the roof is leaking like a shower!
That's what happened to people on a KSRTC bus from Chikkamagaluru to Mangaluru.
Rainwater came in through the windows, making the seats wet and passengers uncomfortable.
To make it worse, there was really thick fog on the mountain road, so it was hard to see where the bus was going.
People are now asking the bus company to fix the buses so this doesn't happen again.
A KSRTC bus traveling from Chikkamagaluru to Mangaluru experienced water leakage.
Faulty windows caused rainwater to leak, rendering seats unusable.
Heavy fog in Charmadi Ghat reduced visibility, increasing safety concerns.
Passengers were forced to stand due to soaked seats and water on the footboard.
The incident has led to calls for KSRTC to improve vehicle maintenance.
