Amid the coronavirus pandemic, only two public transport services are functioning in Maharashtra, i.e. the State Transport (ST) buses and the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) buses. Since a lockdown is in place, all transport services in the state have been shut barring these two. After Lockdown 2.0 was declared, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had assured that various services will conditionally resume after April 20. 

Accordingly, the State Transport Corporation, which has been ferrying essential employees in and out of Mumbai from neighbouring areas are all set to increase the number of journeys of its buses. As per reports, the ST Corporation will deploy 22 more buses that will conduct 100 additional journeys.

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and other essential service departments have made an additional 30 per cent mandatory amid the lockdown.

The ST buses will ensure transportation for the employees working in Mantralaya and other government offices. The extra journeys by ST will ensure that these employees are able to follow social distancing norms and can reach their workplaces without hassles.

Earlier, in order to safeguard its employees, a 'sanitiser machine' had been prepared by the ST Corporation employees at its Nehru Nagar workshop which is located in Kurla. The ST Corporation has directed the preparation of similar machines across the state.
