PUBLIC TRANSPORT

State Transport.

In August 1947, the State Government decided to nationalise passenger transport. A statutory body, viz. the Bombay State Road Transport Corporation was created to which was handed over the administration of the scheme.

For administrative convenience of operating the services the entire State was divided into divisions, comprising one or more districts. Dhulia district formed part of the Khandesh Division. [Khandesh Division was bifurcated into two separate divisions for Dhulia and Jalgaon districts subsequently.] The nationalisation of the services in Khandesh Division started in March 1952.

The table given below indicates various routes in operation, route mileage, frequency of ' Up' and ' Down' trips and the average number of passengers travelled per route:―
