Maharashtra will revamp its bus network by implementing connected cabs at stops, AI-based tracking, mobile ticketing and real‑time route alerts, mirroring the successful Andhra Pradesh model.
The Maharashtra government has announced a comprehensive upgrade to its public bus system, aiming to replicate the success of Andhra Pradesh’s modernized fleet. The plan includes installing connected cab units at every bus stop, enabling real‑time monitoring of vehicles through AI‑driven tracking systems. Passengers will be able to purchase tickets via mobile apps, and receive instant alerts if routes change or delays occur. By adopting these technologies, the state hopes to improve punctuality, reduce operational costs and enhance the overall travel experience for commuters.
