Buses in Jalgaon
The Jalgaon city bus service was previously provided only by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC). However, they were not meeting the increasing demands of the city. Hence the Jalgaon Municipal Corporation along with the private bus company Prasanna Bus Links Private Limited started a project to provide bus services in the city. The eco-bus service was launched on 15th August 2009. Now there are around 30 buses operating on 11 routes apart from the other MSRTC buses. The commuters are benefited by this scheme as it has provided better frequency, fast and safe travel, student concession passes etc.Railways in Jalgaon
