Yes. KSRTC are hell bent on only profit.
If one goes to Karnataka border districts (the most under developed), they would be shocked to learn that those villages are not severed by KSRTC. Other state buses TNSTC, APSRTC give connectivity from those villages to the nearest towns across the border. Its like they have been disowned by Karnataka.
People there too are resigned to their fate, just get on those buses or mainly rickety maxicabs and get on with their lives. No fight left in them.
