Transport minister drives away with Ernakulam KSRTC depots profit-making services
KOCHI: In a strategy that makes no monetary sense, loss-making KSRTC has been terminating profitable services from Ernakulam and diverting them to other depots. The public entity has now discontinued two profitable routes from Ernakulam: The Coimbatore bypass rider (super fast) and Kanyakumari (super fast). These services will now originate from Pathanapuram depot. The vehicles and crew have already been shifted. The move comes on the back of the operation of the Ernakulam-Mookambika super deluxe service being transferred to Alappuzha depot. Discontinuation of the Coimbatore (starting at 11.20am) and Kanyakumari (7pm) services comes even as Ernakulam depot was directed to resume operation of the Erattupetta service (5.30pm) from Friday. The same was terminated due to low revenue collection. There are no other services to the respective destinations in their time slots. Only two buses operate on the interstate Kanyakumari route one at 2.30pm and the other at 7pm. The second service via Alappuzha, Kollam and Thiruvananthapuram has been in operation for the past many years and many commuters depended on it. Unfortunately, its being shifted, sources said. There are no services for Thiruvananthapuram from Ernakulam till late night, after the Nedumangad service at 3pm. The Coimbatore bypass rider was in demand as it cut on travel time by skipping Aluva and Thrissur stops. The next service to Coimbatore from Ernakulam was only at 1.20pm (Coimbatore-Tirupur LSFP). The return service of the bypass rider (5.30pm) was also a passenger favourite. Services are rescheduled and reallotted only when trip collections are poor. The Kanyakumari service used to generate from Rs 25,000-30,000 per trip when it was open to reservation. Then it was taken out of the category of buses with reservation facility and the service was disrupted several times over the past three months. The Coimbatore bypass rider used to generate Rs 15,000-20,000 per trip though it was a relatively short-haul service, sources added. Services from Pathanapuram The discontinued services will now be operated from the hometown of Transport Minister K B Ganesh Kumar. There is a deliberate attempt to shift profitable services from Ernakulam depot. The Transport Democratic Federation has registered a strong protest against the move to degrade the depot, said A K Manoj, TDF district president.

Tamil Nadu has made its mark as a hub for producing chess greats as young as 14 years old. But now in cue sports too, children, who are barely into their teens, are grandly displaying their talent. A few days back, 14-year-old Rahul Williams (CDBSA) from Coimbatore outsmarted seasoned player Freddy (MRC) by 4-1 in the best-of-7 final of the Chandrasekar and S Magesh Memorial Non-Ranking Snooker Championship held at Chennai. Rahul, a class 8 student of Elango Metric school, Coimbatore, was inspired by his father and coach Jehan Wills, to take up the sport. Jehan is a former junior Kerala state player who won the state junior championship for two consecutive years. He has also been Tamil Nadu No. 3 in the state rankings. So it was natural for Rahul to lean towards snooker. Rahul started his snooker career at the age of 10 in 2022. In 2023, he participated in the state ranking, achieved fourth position, and participated in nationals. In 2024, he won a gold medal in Tamil Nadu state junior snooker and in billiards, got a silver. He also excelled in the sub-juniors bagging silver in billiards and snooker, said Jehan. In the same year, he participated in the national snooker championship and secured 5th position. Rahul was selected to represent India for the Under-21 & 17 World Snooker Championship held at Bangalore, and he was in the top six of the world U21 championship, additionally, he is the only player to reach the top eight at the age of 13. In the last two years, Rahul has been promising, and this has prompted Jehan to allow the youngster to pursue cue sports as a career. Rahul won the state junior title in 2024. The passion he had towards the game made me decide to make him a professional player and compete in the world events, said Jehan. Rahul aims to become a professional player in the international circuit and draws inspiration from current world champion Xhao Xingtong. He has also beaten several high-ranking players. Playing against S Chang from Hong Kong in the U-21 World Championship 2024 event was a tough one. But Rahul managed to take the final frame and win the match, said Jehan. He is mentally strong, not intimidated by seniors, and can improve with every tournament. In 2025, he upset the senior-most player and former state No. 2 Loganathan at an All India Open tournament held at Chennai. One of his best performances was when he made an 83 break against Vijaya Shankar at the Towers Club All India Open tournament. Then, he made a shirt foul and wasnt able to continue the break. In non-medalist tournaments, he played against a lot of senior players, learned a lot, and handled the pressure in a good manner, pointed out Jehan. Rahul is currently a snooker player focussing on events pertaining to the game. He is also practicing billiards, and Jehan is confident that with more exposure and experience, Rahul could be a better billiards player too.
