KSRTC Eicher SuperFast RSC990 of Kottayam (RIP)

Kerala State Road Transport Corporation’s (KSRTC) Kottayam depot’s SuperFast bus RSC990 stands majestically at its home depot after a long run from Mysore. A pair of Eicher Superfasts were procured for this route including this one and were among the first Eicher Superfasts of the corporation. Sadly, this stance is no more, as the bus was completely destroyed when a truck overloaded with protruding timber logs crashed into it at Keezhillam near Muvattupuzha on the MC Road while doing a Kozhikode-Kottayam run. Miraculously, there were no casualties.

The Kottayam – Mysore KSRTC service is now run as a Super Express service, departing Kottayam at 1700.
