Overview
- All drivers and conductors must clear depot breathalyser tests before duty, with results documented and verified.
- Drivers are required to record movements in control-room logbooks and may face mid-route alcohol rechecks before continuing trips.
- Random testing at depots, bus stands and rest areas will be overseen by supervisors, with surprise checks by the Vigilance Department.
- Staff found intoxicated face suspension and strict disciplinary action, and the administration has initiated action against officials flagged by a three-member inquiry.
- MSRTC will run training with social organisations, hold an Alcohol Awareness Week and improve rest-room and guest-house facilities for staff.
