Almost 2 crore passengers travel on MSRTC buses over Raksha Bandhan weekend
The long Raksha Bandhan weekend, coupled with holidays, saw a huge passenger surge for the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation. From August 8 to 11, nearly two crore people rode MSRTC buses, and the corporation earned a revenue of Rs 137.37 crore—around Rs 16 crore more than in the same period last year, thanks to some extent by a fare increase. Monday saw the highest single-day collections of over Rs 39 crore, as per MSRTC officials. Narali Purnima on Friday, Raksha Bandhan on Saturday, and Sunday were followed by the return journey rush on Monday. Assuming such demand, the MSRTC deployed extra buses at the divisional level. Also, parallel services were operated on routes where the passenger load exceeded 60 per cent. Revenue collections were Rs 30.06 crore on Friday, Rs 36.86 crore on Saturday, Rs 33.36 crore on Sunday, and Rs 39.9 crore on Monday. As many as 1.93 crore passengers availed of the service in these four days, and 88 lakh of them were women. Several of them got the 50 per cent fare concession under the Mahila Samman Yojana, for which the MSRTC is compensated by the Government. MSRTC officials said that Raksha Bandhan and Bhai Dooj during Diwali are traditionally among the most revenue-generating days for the corporation. 'Family outings on these festivals result in a big spurt in intercity and intrastate travel. We plan our timings accordingly,' an MSRTC official said. 'This time around, the extra services we ran during the festival season ensured we were able to meet the demand well and post higher revenues.'
