Nashik, Mar 5

It is considered an offence if a bus conductor of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation does not deposit the ticket amount collected during duty. It is included as embezzlement. If the driver or conductor is found to have used the money without depositing it in the corporation, action is taken. Since there is a sudden investigation regarding this, if found guilty, action will be taken along with a fine. About 450 such cases have been revealed in Nashik district during the year.

A team is appointed by the State Road Transport Corporation to check tickets. This team can go to any route and check and tally the number of tickets issued with the number of passengers boarding the bus.

Info

If State Road Transport Corporation conductors depart from the bus stand, with the bus to which they are appointed, they have to register the money they have before leaving. The amount depends on the destination of the bus. If the destination of the bus is within the district limits, the minimum amount required is recorded.
