"Yashwanti" from Sangola depot.
"Yashwanti" is a brand name for midi buses operated by MSRTC on short rural routes. It stops at all smaller places for passenger traffic and has a good frequency. This was an experiment to counter the challenge posed by unauthorized passenger traffic by Matadors, Vikram rikshaws and other smaller vehicles plying illegally in rural Maharashtra.
Sangola - Pandharpur Yashwanti service.
Via Sangewadi - Khardi.
Route length 34 kms
MH - 07 / C 7882
Sangola depot, Solapur division.

Built by ACGL, Goa. Passed at Sindhudurg district RTO at Sawantwadi i.e. MH - 07.

Now, I think most of these buses have completed their codal life and are retired now from their service in MSRTC.
