Bengaluru: The Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) had to confront an unprecedented situation as there was a commotion at bus stands in various parts of the state due to the mad rush of passengers.
Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi, who is in charge of the transport department, admitted that there were some shortcomings in the arrangements.
He was however, confident that things would improve from Wednesday.
The KSRTC later said in a statement that it had initially planned to run 1,500 buses, but operated 1,606 buses, which ferried 53,506 passengers.
From Bengaluru alone, 213 buses were operated, carrying about 6,000 passengers to different parts of the state.
The corporation appealed to the passengers to book online tickets to avoid overcrowding at bus stations and also waiting in long queues.
