popularly called TMC. It has planned many future projects for developing this
city. Thane Municipal Transport or TMT is the wing of TMC which is specially
formed to look after public transportation needs. It operates large number of
bus services to and from Thane. These TMT buses cover the entire city and ply

Transportation
facility in Thane is a topic of great concern to the Thane Municipal Corporation.
This city has developed so rapidly that barren lands are rapidly occupied by
huge housing complexes. Big malls and shopping complexes have sprung up
throughout the city. This has tremendously increased traffic of the city. The
corporation keeping an eye on future of this city has constructed many
flyovers. It has executed many projects of road widening and improving the roadways
which improved transportation in Thane. TMC started its own bus service on 9th
February 1989 and became the major public shuttle services in Thane. TMT buses even
ply to area beyond Thane city entering neighboring cities of Mumbai, Navi
Mumbai, Kalyan and Mira Bhayandar. Most of the buses ply on routes between
major housing areas and Thane railway station. There was need to modify the TMT
services in Thane, so that it complies with growing needs of the city. In order
to achieve this corporation has scraped old buses and purchased many new buses.
