The Maharashtra
State Road Transport Corporation abbreviated as (MSRTC, or
simply ST), is the state run bus service of Maharashtra,
India with 16,500 buses which ferry 7 million passengers daily on 18,700
routes. It serves routes to towns and cities within Maharashtra and adjoining
states. Apart from locations within the state of Maharashtra, the MSRTC service
also covers destinations in neighboring states.
Travelling by MSRTC
Buses in Konkan is a great experience. Especially in Monsoon when the Buses run
through Lush Greenery. Konkan consists of Many Ghats (Amba Ghat, Kashedi Ghat
etc). Travelling by MSRTC Bus on the Ghat is always a great experience. When the
Bus negotiates Curves one can experience a Roller Coaster Ride while sitting on
his seat. Roads in Konkan are narrow and have steep curves so it becomes very
difficult to ride on this type of roads, but the drivers are well trained, so
ride by MSRTC Buses is very safe.
Even after the
introduction of Konkan Railways, still there are many people who still prefer to travel
by MSRTC Buses as these buses connect remote areas which are not accessible by
Railways.
