Maharashtra's State Transport Corporation (MSRTC) will allow stranded passengers of ordinary buses to board premium services like Shiv Shahi without extra charge. Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik issued strict directives against denying entry or demanding fare differences, emphasizing that such actions damage public trust. MSRTC rules mandate providing alternative bus services free of cost when an ST bus breaks down, with a focus on ensuring stranded passengers, especially from 'Lal Pari' buses, receive suitable arrangements.
