Two MSRTC bus drivers suspended for using phones while driving
The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation on Sunday dismissed a driver who was caught watching a cricket match on his mobile phone while driving an e-Shivneri bus on the Pune-Mumbai route. In a separate incident, Pune resident Nitin Godbole raised concerns over another Dadar-Swargate Shivneri driver using a mobile phone while driving. Additionally, MSRTC penalised the private company operating the bus and instructed all affiliated transport firms to enforce strict regulations against mobile phone use while driving. Your concern has been duly noted and directed to the respective department.” On March 23, MSRTC issued a formal notice to the company, citing Article 20.12 of the service legal agreement, which prohibits drivers from using mobile phones while operating buses.
