Stand timetables abbreviate classes as EXP, R/H, N/A/SLP or MLT. Here is what each KSRTC class means, how it is seated, whether it is air-conditioned and when it is worth the fare.

KSRTC's flagship overnight sleeper: multi-axle chassis, wide berths, charging points, curtains and reading lights. Runs on Bengaluru–Mangaluru, Udupi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Goa and other long-haul corridors.
Best for: Overnight trips over 300 km when you want to arrive rested.
AC sleeper
Two-axle AC sleeper with single and double berths, a step below Utsav in price. Common on Bengaluru–Mangaluru, Mysuru and Chennai night services.
Best for: Value overnight AC sleeper.
Volvo / Scania AC seater, 2+2 push-back
The classic KSRTC Volvo. Wide push-back seats, leg rests on newer coaches, and the quickest scheduled runs on the expressway routes.
