The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has launched a new non-AC seater/sleeper bus for long-distance journeys.
The buses have 30 pushback seats and 15 sleeper berths along with other amenities, and the fare is as minimal as Rs 415.

To avoid the daytime traffic, these buses will only set course on a journey at night. Serving around 67 lakh passengers on a daily basis, MSRTC has over 10 types of bus services, including the semi-luxury Hirkano, Night Express, AC-Shivneri, AC-Shivshahi and semi-sleeper Volvo AC, across the state.
The current routes for the bus include Kolhapur-Nashik, Pune-Nagpur, Kolhapur-Hyderabad, Mumbai Central-Hingoli, Parel-Bhatwadi, Mumbai Central-Miraj, Mumbai Central-Tarakpur, Mumbai Central-Shevgaon, Borivali-Devgad, Borivali-Devachegothane, Thane-Akkalkot, Pune-Ganpatipule, Pune-Sakri, Kolhapur-Beed, Amravati-Pandharpur and Aurangabad-Ichalkaranji.
The seats are reserved on the first-come-first-serve basis and the tickets can be booked both online and offline.
