Some cheer for Weekend Travellers

Among the best news I've heard is this – for travelers. Woot! The Government is actually thinking of something positive, of promoting tourism! Something I had been lamenting of late – that tourism is given a go-by, that it can generate a lot of income, spread wealth – make infrastructure better (by providing impetus for it).

 So, the KSRTC, that is Karnataka's State run Transport Corp. has announced a go anywhere in Karnataka, on a weekend for 700 Rupees only – that too on the relatively better maintained Rajahamsa buses (not a patch on the Vajras/Airavats/Volvos though!). times of India has more on that story at this link. (by the by, ignore the ToIs stupid headline!

Enjoy your weekends!
