About: I am a software engineer working on Big Data technologies at a marquee software based in Trivandrum. Kerala is my passion and try to help people find their around Kerala especially thru efficient KSRTC buses of Kerala.

Kerala State Road Transport Corporation has an interesting history. It started with His Highness Sree Chithirathirunal of erstwhile royal Travancore family inviting Mr E.G. Salter, Assistant, Operating Supdt of London Passenger Transport Board to Kerala to start public transport service way back in 1937. t present the corporation has 5491 schedules and 6197 buses in August 2012. The average earnings per km (EPKM) works out to round about  26.54 and the average earnings per bus (EPB) works out to  8574. They have been successful in connecting remotest parts of Kerala and yet keep the fares affordable.

In my spare time, while I am not helping people over here, I am active on forums dedicated to Big data.
