Saddled with over 230 public transport buses that are lying in a poor state at its depots for want of repairs, the Thane Municipal Transport is making desperate attempts to salvage some of the vehicles and bring them back on the roads.

TMT Chairman Vilas Joshi, who took over last month, said he will leave no stone unturned in getting the buses fixed. Some of the buses have been waiting for so long that their working life is over.
