MSRTC Bus Discount: 15% Off on Long-Distance Tickets for Early Bookers from July 1

In a welcome move for passengers heading to their hometowns during upcoming festivals or vacations, the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has announced a 15% discount on long-distance bus tickets booked in advance. This discount will be effective from July 1, under the corporation’s newly introduced Flexi Fare scheme.

The announcement was made by ST Corporation President Pratap Sarnaik on the occasion of MSRTC’s 77th anniversary. The discount scheme is applicable to all categories of ST buses and aims to benefit a larger number of passengers — including men, in addition to women who already enjoy other fare concessions.

Who Can Avail the Discount?

• The discount is valid only on advance bookings for journeys covering a distance of more than 150 kilometers.

• The offer applies only to full-fare tickets — not for half-tickets or concessionary fares.

• Tickets can be booked through:

  • Ticket counters

  • Official website: public.msrtcors.com

  • MSRTC mobile app: msrtc Bus Reservation

MSRTC believes the scheme will be especially beneficial for travelers heading home for Ashadhi Ekadashi and Ganesh Chaturthi, both major religious and cultural events in Maharashtra.

Important Note:

The discount will not be available during peak seasons, such as Diwali and summer vacations, to manage increased demand and ensure service availability.

MSRTC expects this move to encourage more people to choose ST buses for long-distance travel and improve overall ridership across the state.
