Work on the first phase of the proposed new KSRTC bus terminal at Karikkamuri, near the Ernakulam bus stand, is set to begin, with the tender awarded for ₹9.23 crore.

The KSRTC had entrusted the Public Works department (PWD) with executing the project, following which the State government issued technical sanction in August. The department invited tenders for the construction in early September.
