More than 500 buses are running per day, but Rlys want requests for running train!. In pure business sense, never miss an opportunity to make money. This is golden time -- next 6 months, buses would not be preferred, or rather disliked, since they have to go through a de-tour. Atleast 2 night trains can be run -- one from Kundapura via Udupi and MAJN byepass (to avoid LR at MAJN) and one from MAQ to Bengaluru. One can be via ASK and other one via MYS.
