After a gap of over 21 months, government buses started plying to Kerala from the city from Wednesday, much to the delight of the general public.

According to Transport department sources, buses were plying to Palakkad, Kochi, Munnar, Thrissur and there was good response from the public, who travelled by trains all these days.
