The Maharashtra State Transport Corporation (MSRTC) will now deliver subsidised travel passes directly to schools and colleges, eliminating the need for queuing up at depots or pass centres, state Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik said.

"Students will get ST passes directly at their schools," said Sarnaik, announcing the "ST Pass Directly to Your School" campaign that kicked off on June 16.

He said that the Maharashtra government currently offers a 66.66 per cent concession on ST bus fares for students travelling between home and educational institutions.
