Kerala marked its formation day with a proud moment for every travel enthusiast in the state. As part of Kerala Piravi celebrations, the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) officially received the all-new Volvo 9600 SLX coach — a milestone addition to its premium fleet.
The new model, known for its comfort, safety, and stylish design, has been delivered to KSRTC for introducing long-distance luxury services connecting major cities such as Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, Kozhikode, and beyond. With this, KSRTC becomes one of the few state transport corporations in India to operate the latest 9600 series from Volvo, a model already popular among private operators.
The arrival of the 9600 SLX marks a new chapter for Kerala’s public transport system. The bus features state-of-the-art interiors, wide reclining seats, and advanced suspension to ensure a smooth ride even on long routes. More importantly, this move reflects KSRTC’s renewed focus on passenger comfort, modernisation, and eco-friendly operations.
For bus enthusiasts, this is a moment of pride and nostalgia combined — a public carrier once known for its iconic Super Fast and Deluxe services now stepping into a new age of comfort and design. The 9600 SLX, built on the globally acclaimed Volvo chassis, is expected to run on major inter-state and inter-district routes soon, giving passengers a premium travel experience at affordable fares.
Kerala Piravi Day has always been a symbol of unity and progress for Malayalis. This year, KSRTC’s newest addition stands as a gift to the people of Kerala — a reminder that even as the roads evolve, the spirit of KSRTC and its bond with the people remain stronger than ever.
