Mysore/Mysuru: In what seems to be an extraordinary order during COVID-19 times when public are scary of travel, the KSRTC’s K.R. Nagar Depot has issued an order directing the bus staff (driver and conductor) to meet the set revenue collection target. The order also says that those who fail to meet the collection target for the day will stand to lose attendance.
K.R. Nagar Depot Manager Papa Nayak in his order said that the drivers and conductors must ply buses for a minimum distance of 300 kms per day in respect of express services and 280 kms per day in respect of shuttle services. The express buses should record a minimum of Rs.30 EPKM (Earnings Per Kilometre) while shuttle services should record a minimum of Rs. 25 EPKM. This means that each express bus which is required to travel at least 300 kms per day (8 hours duty) must earn a minimum revenue of Rs. 9,000, while each shuttle bus which is required to travel 280 kms, must bring minimum revenue of Rs. 7,000.
