That was my first thought when I read this article . It is good that interstate special trains are run , but unfortunately the issue of intra-state connectivity still persists . As the saying goes " Too many cooks spoil the broth " , similarly, too many zones for a single state have messed up intra state connectivity for Karnataka. None of them , including SWR want to shoulder responsibility in this regard. In this aspect, Tamil Nadu and kerela are relatively better placed.
