Mumbai, June 5: In a major push to improve passenger amenities, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) on Thursday launched a statewide cleanliness campaign under which ST bus stations, buses, crew rest rooms, and toilets will be cleaned every four hours.
The initiative was inaugurated by Transport Minister and MSRTC Chairman Pratap Sarnaik at Parel Bus Station on the occasion of World Environment Day.
Campaign objectives and hygiene measures
The campaign aims to improve hygiene standards at bus stations across Maharashtra through the use of mechanised cleaning equipment and regular sanitation drives.
During the launch event, modern cleaning machines deployed for the initiative were demonstrated. Senior MSRTC officials, divisional controllers, and employee representatives attended the programme.
Addressing the gathering, Sarnaik said MSRTC is not just a transport service but an essential part of the daily lives of lakhs of people across the state.
“Providing passengers with clean, safe, and quality facilities is our primary responsibility. This campaign will help make travel more comfortable and pleasant for commuters,” he said.
Recycling and environmental goals
As part of the initiative, plastic bottles and carry bags collected from bus stations will be segregated and sent for recycling. The recycled material will be used to manufacture useful products, supporting the state’s environmental goals.
