MSRTC's Mercedes Shivneri.
"Shivneri" is a brand name for Air Conditioned Luxury Bus service offered by MSRTC mainly on Pune - Dadar route. Though Shivneri service was also introduced between Thane and Pune, Borivali and Pune, Pune and Aurangabad; Dadar - Pune route was the main route served by this prestigious service.
MSRTC has the schedule of Shivneri service at every 15 minutes on this route. During weekends to clear the extra rush, MSRTC even planned clone bus for important timings at a 5 minutes delay after the regular service.
MSRTC initially introduced Volvo B 7 R buses (MH - 11 / T 92XX passing) as Shivneri buses. The colour scheme selected for this brand was sky blue. Later MSRTC hired a few buses (Mercedes, Cerita Kinglongs and Volvos) from private operators for this service.
This is one such bus. Mercedes Benz bus hired from a private operator for this service.
