MAHARASHTRA STATE ROAD TRANSPORT CORPORATION
The road transport in Yeotmal district was nationalised as early as in 1946. The road services, formerly run by Central Provinces Transport Service, were purchased by the State Government in 1955, and were renamed as Provincial Transport Services, Nagpur. In 1956, the service operations were looked after by a separate department under the then Government of Bombay called the " Transferred Road Transport Undertakings Department". In order to co-ordinate the activities of the then existing three organisations, viz., the Provincial Transport Service, Nagpur, the State Transport Service in Marathwada and the Bombay State Road Transport Corporation, all these were merged into a single body in July 1961. This new organisation was named as the " Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation".
