Another blow due to inflation; ST fare hike to increase travel costs for passengers
ST fare hike comes into effect; Corporation's decision driven by rising costs
Mumbai: The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), grappling with rising fuel and maintenance costs as well as financial strain, has decided to increase ST bus ticket fares. According to the Corporation, this hike has become necessary as it is becoming difficult to cover escalating expenses with current revenue.
This decision will impose an additional financial burden on lakhs of passengers across the state. Residents of rural areas, students, and those who rely on ST buses for their daily commute are likely to be the most affected by this fare increase.
The Corporation has clarified that the decision was taken to address rising diesel prices and employee costs, and to secure the financial resources needed to maintain smooth bus operations.
Passengers are advised to check the new ticket rates before planning their journeys and making reservations. Details regarding the official schedule and ticket fares are available on the MSRTC's official website.
