KKRTC is dealing with a severe staff shortage. Despite adding bus services to meet increased demand from the state's 'Shakti' scheme, recruitment issues persist. Despite having nearly 20,000 employees and a large fleet, retirements have hampered operations. The corporation plans to recruit 1,773 new staff and fill 1,437 conductor vacancies but awaits state government approval.
