MSRTC Introduces Electric Bus Service from Nashik to Shirdi
M

MSRTC has launched an electric bus service between Nashik and Shirdi, enhancing connectivity and promoting eco-friendly travel. The bus departs from Nashik at 7 PM and returns from Shirdi at 10 PM.

In a significant move to enhance connectivity and promote eco-friendly transportation, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has launched an electric bus service between Nashik and Shirdi. The new service aims to provide a reliable and sustainable travel option for passengers commuting between these two important cities.

Nashik to Shirdi Bus Service Schedule

  • Departure from Nashik: 7:00 PM
  • Return from Shirdi: 10:00 PM

An MSRTC official mentioned that the electric bus, initially operating on the Nashik-Saptashrungi Gad route, has been reallocated to the Nashik-Shirdi route due to low occupancy on the former.

Rationale Behind the Change

  • Passenger Convenience: There was no bus service available for passengers traveling from Shirdi to Nashik after 9:00 PM, with the next available bus only at 1:00 AM. This new service fills that gap, providing a more convenient option for late-night travelers.
  • Occupancy Rates: The electric buses on the Nashik-Saptashrungi Gad route had fewer passengers, prompting the decision to shift one of the buses to the Nashik-Shirdi route to optimize utilization.

Benefits of the New Bus Service

  • Eco-Friendly: The introduction of electric buses is part of MSRTC’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable transportation.
  • Enhanced Connectivity: The service improves the connectivity between Nashik and Shirdi, particularly benefiting those who travel for religious purposes.

MSRTC Future Plans

MSRTC is committed to expanding its fleet of electric buses to cover more routes, aiming to provide eco-friendly transportation options across Maharashtra.

The introduction of the Nashik to Shirdi electric bus service marks a significant step towards modernizing public transportation and meeting the needs of passengers with more convenient and sustainable travel options.
