The services will be managed by unit officers who will oversee online reservations, traffic demands, and data from previous years. Service-in-charge personnel and the Operation Control Room will be involved in organising service patterns.

Fare discounts will be offered for off-peak services and one-way trips, with flexible fares available to manage demand and prevent fare increases by unauthorised services. These measures are intended to ensure cost-effective operations for KSRTC.
