I guess, you got me wrong here. I am not speaking about MAJN station development. That is something which SR has to take care, which is something which they are neglecting.
Now the main problem for a passenger is connectivity from Mangalore city to MAJN station. And this, state govt has to take care for the benefit of passengers.
If you consider KCVL, road connectivity to station was bad. But state govt arranged buses. Now there are KSRTC(Kerala) as per the train arrival timing. So passengers are benefited because of this feature....
more... May be something like that can be done from Karnataka side. Not just in KCVL. In Kannur, for JS and Executive Express, Kerala SRTC buses are there to take passenger considering the odd arrival time. So even state should also take some responsibility.
And btw, don't get me wrong. I am great fan of KarnatakaSRTC. Was impressed with their transport system, especially Airvat series..
