Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik has asked the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation to prioritize conductorless bus services on suitable routes. This move aims to reduce manpower costs and improve the corporation's financial position. The plan is part of a broader effort to increase revenue and make better use of existing resources.
The conductorless model is already being tested on shorter routes, where digital ticketing and smart cards can minimize the need for a conductor. However, implementing this model on long-distance services may pose challenges, particularly in handling emergencies and breakdowns.
Further details on the implementation and potential impact of conductorless bus services are available from the source. The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation is exploring ways to cut costs and improve its financial situation.
