Scope of Confusion : Why its Showing Ernakulam instead of Cochin and Kumily instead of Thekkady ?
If you search online or when you are about to search cochin bus station, you may wonder why it is mainly showing Ernakulam at most of the places instead of Cochin.
Don't get confused about it. Cochin and Ernakulam both are same. Main KSRTC (Kerala State Road Transport Corporation) bus stand here known as Ernakulam Bus Station/Depot
Remarks : Railway Station and Bus Stations commonly call as Ernakulam Railway Staiton and Ernakulam Bus Stand etc. Where as Airport known as Cochin Airport
As in the case of Cochin, Thekkady also having the same thing. If you are seeing the place name Kumily instead of Thekkady on the bus board dont get confused. Kumily is the main town and the main bus stand of Thekkady in this town. All the buses will be having the name board as Kumily. Need not worry seeing that.
