Last month I was suppose to go Mumbai. As soon as I reached pune station many private car agents started approaching but I straight went to MSRTC shivneri booking counter after being seated I was surprised to see only four seats occupied first I thought departure would be delayed as it was very low turn out for journey and supposed time to start was 1:00 pm, I enquired with driver who told bus will start BT 1:05pm and it actually did, where as private bus operators never make it on time even if they have few vacant seats, good service by MSRTC and also cooperative staff
