Locals of Alappuzha find immense joy in travelling in a particular Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) bus operated by a Kerala couple. The driver Giri Gopinath and conductor Thara have made their way into the hearts of their passengers by providing them steller services.
Believe it or not, the couple sought out permission from the travel department to conduct operations. They invested their own money to personalise their bus service so that every passenger leaves the bus with a smile. The couple has been working in the Haripad depot for the past 10 years.
They have installed CCTV cameras, emergency switches, a music system, an automatic air freshener, decorations and an LED destination board in their bus. Every day at 5:30 AM, they begin their work, but they wake up by 2 AM to start preparing for the day.
