    Yes, it is damn cheap than the bus ...but the railways should also devise several intelligent strategies to keep this service running non-stop without any impediment. Train commuters to and from Mangalore have always been inconvenienced and agonisingly suffered unendingly mainly because of the unity of the goondaraj activities prevailing in the bus administration on all sectors plying to and from Mangalore. They hate to see the train ruining their businesses and using nefarious activities to demolish the infrastructure of the railway network. Once the spinal chord of the bus mafia and the related goondaism is smashed and broken into bits and pieces, there will be no flimsy unjustified hiking of bus rates in-the-near-future. The bus administration has always been a pain in the butt and this nexus has to be crushed in any way, with an iron hand. However, I long to see the light of that day when bus transportation will die a natural death due to loyal and faithful train commuters switching over to the train services instead buses.
