Spotted these guys sleeping off at Kempegowda Bus station in Bangalore! There were about 5 Coronas at the bus station while I was there! These buses are actually run by NEKRTC (the sticker jobs say NWKRTC though!)

These buses run on these routes: Gulbarga-Bangalore, Raichur-Bangalore, Sindhanur-Bangalore, Bidar-Bangalore, Bellary-Bangalore and Hospet-Hyderabad.

I had traveled on one of these Globuses from Bangalore to Thrissur some time the second week of May.



The Suspension was good, and the AC was effective. The bus lacked power to tide over ghat sections with AC on. The vibration levels are too high when the bus reaches its top speed. The seating was good, and the leg room was nice.
