Routes | Ticket Price | Booking
Complete MSRTC Route special bus schedule from Shirdi — routes, departure times, ticket prices and booking details.
MSRTC (Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation) operates Route special extra buses (जादा बस वाहतूक) from Shirdi to handle the surge in passenger demand during Route season. These special buses supplement the regular MSRTC schedule and cover routes to Pune Swargate and many more destinations across Maharashtra.
During Route periods, lakhs of Maharashtra residents travel from cities back to their home towns and villages. MSRTC responds by deploying hundreds of additional buses from all major depots including Shirdi. The special buses run on the same routes as regular services but with increased frequency to reduce waiting time and ensure every passenger gets a seat.
Tickets for Route special buses can be booked online through the MSRTC Official Website or at the bus stand counter. Advance booking is strongly recommended as these buses fill up very quickly — sometimes within hours of the schedule being announced. All MSRTC special buses also offer the standard 50% discount for ladies and children.
