An affiliate of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has opposed the state government's plan to hire ordinary buses from private operators for inclusion in the fleet of MSRTC.

The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) is mulling hiring ordinary buses (non-AC, non- luxurious) though no official decision has been taken in this regard so far. The state-run corporation already has private AC buses in its fleet.
