Mumbai : Sleeper bus crew across Maharashtra will now be required to brief passengers about all emergency exits and safety tools before every journey. The initiative is part of a new awareness campaign launched by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) to strengthen passenger safety standards.

New Campaign for Safer Journeys

Titled ‘Sleeper Bus Passenger Safety Guidelines’, the campaign runs under the slogan ‘Alert Passenger, Safe Journey’ and aims to educate travellers on quick response during emergencies. The move comes in the wake of the Kurnool sleeper bus fire in Andhra Pradesh that killed 20 passengers earlier this month, prompting authorities to revisit long-distance bus safety measures.
