Vasai-Virar municipality starts bus service to ply students

MUMBAI: The civic administration has come to the rescue of school students in Nalasopara who were left stranded after state transport buses were withdrawn last month. From June 1, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) withdrew its buses plying between Virar to Arnala, Nalasopara station to highway, Vasai to the fort and Vasai to Holi village.

Students travelling to schools were the most affected. Following protest by parents, the VasaiVirar Municipal Corporation (VVMC) has started ferrying school students. To begin with, a bus has been picking up students from Acholetalav in Nalasopara (east) and dropping them to schools in Nalasopara (west). The VasaiVirar Municipal Transport (VVMT) had introduced buses in October last year. The MSRTC withdrew buses from some of its routes citing poor response.

The VVMC has begun circulating bus forms to schools to know the number of students who will avail the bus service. So far over 450 passes have been issued to students. The bus drops students from class one to 10 to their respective schools in the morning and picks them up in the evening. Parents have to wait at allotted stops to drop and receive their children. Students will get a 50 per cent concession on tickets.

Bhagirathi Travels, the private operator running the buses for the VVMC will introduce more student pick-up buses in the region. The discontinuation of MSRTC buses has also affected passengers, especially those from villages.
