MSRTC Pune: Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) Pune division has taken a significant step to promote tourism and provide affordable travel options to passengers. The corporation has officially launched special inter-state tourist bus packages directly from Pune to three major states – Telangana, Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh. The main objective behind this facility is to provide safe and planned travel to common citizens, senior citizens and families.
Accommodation and sightseeing facilities at a single fee
The ST administration has planned these trips in a very relaxed and hands-free manner. The corporation will not only provide the tourists travelling under this package with travel arrangements but also provide them with safe accommodation and local sightseeing facilities. Hence, the passengers will not need to book a separate hotel or find transport. MSRTC Pune

A great alternative to private travel
Currently, during the holidays, private travel companies charge exorbitant ticket prices from passengers. In such a situation, this scheme launched by the ST Corporation will be very beneficial for middle-class families, warkaris and senior citizens. Along with safe travel by ST, this has provided the facility of traveling throughout the state at government rates. MSRTC Pune
How to get booking and official information?
Complete information regarding the schedule, ticket prices and seat reservation of these inter-state tourism packages has been published on the official website of the corporation. Interested citizens can book directly online by visiting the MSRTC Official Website or contact the nearest main ST bus station. MSRTC Pune
This bold and public welfare decision of the ST Corporation is likely to put a big curb on the arbitrary increase in fares of private travel. Due to safe travel, proper accommodation and planned darshan, these interstate packages are expected to receive a huge response from Pune residents right from the start. The future of such tour packages for some other new states in the coming days will depend on how the passengers respond to this initiative, which was started on an experimental basis. Therefore, now Pune residents will be able to experience a trip to another state at a low cost and with the confidence of government security. MSRTC Pune
