The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), which has one of the biggest public transport bus fleets in India, has now begun a crackdown on its bus drivers amid rising complaints from passengers about bus stop skips. The transport body has warned the drivers who do not halt buses at designated bus stops and use flyovers of action.

“Most of the MSRTC buses on highways do not halt at designated midway stops and just speed away. This leads to a lot of issues. Either remove the bus stop from the location or make provision for buses to halt there. One cannot have a bus stop and not make a bus halt there,” said Krishna Thengne, who was waiting at a bus stop on Eastern Express Highway.
