Game changers of TNSTC – Salem
In the recent times there is a lot of buzz happening around TNSTC – Salem’s 3.33 Electronics City Express ( a.k.a ECX ). We have be tracking them since the time of introduction and we believe that this service has become a big money pocket for the STU . Increasing the frequency from 2 to 12 in one direction tells the success story of these guys.
As of AUG-2014 there are 6 buses managing the show , 3 each from Salem and Dharampuri region respectively . The fleet consists of 5 brand new buses and 1 relatively new bus and each bus does 2 complete round trips covering approx 860 Kms in a span of 24hrs
