'''Citilinc''' is the public transport bus service provided by '''Nashik Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd''' ([[Special Purpose Vehicle|SPV]] of [[Nashik Municipal Corporation]]) for the city of [[Nashik]], in [[Maharashtra]]. It operates 63 routes around Nashik and its suburban areas with the use of a fleet of nearly 250 buses. Presently, the routes cover a radius of 20km in and around the Nashik area.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
In 2020, the Nashik Municipal Corporation submitted a feasibility report to the [[Government of Maharashtra]], for the privatisation of bus services in Nashik, as existing services being operated by the state-run [[Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation]] (MSRTC)<ref>{{Cite news|date= 27 September 2020|first=Tushar|last=Pawar|title=NMC to gift its city bus service to citizens on Diwali |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/nashik/nmc-to-gift-its-city-bus-service-to-citizens-on-diwali/articleshow/78338950.cms|access-date=9 October 2020|work=The Times of India|language=en}}</ref> were found to be loss-making and insufficient for the needs of the city.<br />
<br />
== Operations ==<br />
NMPML has a fleet of 250 buses out of which 200 are diesel and 50 are run on CNG which are maintained at 2 bus depots, which ferry around 68000 passengers every day. Distant towns like Sinnar, Dindori, Sukena, Pimpalgaon Baswant, Jategaon, etc. are becoming part of the service. NMPML also plans to acquire 100 electric buses under [[Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation|PM Amrut Scheme]] in to the existing fleet.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.lokmattimes.com/nashik/nashik-revs-up-for-green-transit-50-electric-buses-to-roll-out-soon-under-pm-amrut-scheme-a505/|title=Nashik Revs Up for Green Transit: 50 Electric Buses to Roll Out Soon Under PM Amrut Scheme|work=Lokmat Times|date= 2 May 2024}}</ref><br />
