The Thiruvananthapuram City Circular is a bus service operated by the Kerala State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) in Thiruvananthapuram, the capital of Kerala state, India. The service was launched in 2021[2] and currently operates on a circular route covering all the major parts of the city.[3] The buses operate every 15 minutes during peak hours and every 30 minutes during off-peak hours. The fare for a journey ranges from INR 10 to 30.[4] This is the first public transportation system in Kerala with a 'hop on, hop off' model. A Good Day Ticket provides unlimited travel in any city circular buses with a time limit of 24 hours.[5] It has over 278 stops and 24 interchange points (major stops intersecting two or more circular services.)
