Ranni is one of the major town in Pathanamthitta district and is one of the major gateway towards many districts and towns such as Kottayam, Erumely, Thiruvalla, Pathanamthitta, High range areas etc. So buses from various places comes to Ranni or atleast passes through the town of Ranni on a regular basis. Ranni has two private bus stands, the major one in Ittiyappara and the other one in Perumpuzha. Both these bus stands witnesses bus services to other major towns and cities surrounding Ranni and the people in Ranni has been benefiting a lot from it.
Even having two private bus stands in Ranni, the dream of having a full fledged KSRT bus stand in Ranni still remains a dream in the mind of people living in Ranni. The efforts for getting sanction for a KSRTC bus stand in Ranni was started long time ago, but still it has not been fully achieved. Ranni has managed only to get a half functioning KSRTC depo without having space of its own and operates in the small space behind Ittiyappara bus stand. Huge political games in the past and present are ruining the chances of Ranni getting its own space for having a fully operational KSRTC bus station.
Most of the major towns and cities near Ranni are having their own KSRTC bus station, which makes the matter worse and takes the issue to the level of self-pride and esteem. If a KSRTC bus station is operational, then it would really reduce the travel woes of Ranni to a great extend as people in Ranni are over dependent on private buses for their transportation activities. There are several lands spaces available in Ranni which are suitable for building a KSRTC bus station, but the authorities do not bother about buying lands that are suitable for a KSRTC bus stand.
The current temporary KSRTC depo is not at all capable of fulfilling the needs of the people in Ranni as only few buses are operating from this make shift depo. So if a fully operation KSRTC bus station is present in Ranni, it would be of huge benefit for the people as well as the economic development of Ranni. Hope that Ranni soon gets a KSRTC bus station of its own in the coming years.
