Front View of KSRTC Silverline Jet Bus at Thrissur

One of Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC)’s new class of buses, named the “Silverline Jet”. RPC 101 of Trivandrum depot was running the Thiruvanathapuram – Palakkad route and here it is at Thrissur bus station amidst drizzling rain and surrounded by other buses. These Ashok Leyland Viking buses feature 2×2 reclining seating, strictly limited stops (only 5 stops), free WiFi on board, window curtains and so on. There are five “Silverline Jets” and all run within Kerala. Silverline Jets are actually the revival of a class of buses called “Lightning Express” that were run by KSRTC around 20 years ago. Update: The class is now defunct, they do not run anymore.
