The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) will operate all the buses with 100 per cent passenger capacity instead of the present 50 per cent from Friday, a top official said.

Currently MSRTC buses are being run at half the passenger capacity in view of the coronavirus pandemic.

"The state government has allowed us to run the buses with 100 per cent passenger-carrying capacity instead of 50 per cent," said Shekhar Channe, vice chairman and managing director of the corporation, on Thursday.

Passengers will have to follow Covid-19 protocol such as wearing masks and using sanitizers, he said.

MSRTC restarted inter-district services from August
