Taking the proposal for maxi cabs to be allowed in the state for public transport, the Maharashtra government has now decided to set up a panel to recommend its fare structure, permits and how maxi cabs may affect MSRTC bus routes. The panel will be required to submit its reports in 3 months.
The committee includes the state’s transport commissioner Avinash Dhakne, RTO officers and Shekhar Channe, managing director of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC).
