Save BEST drive takes off to fix city’s bus crisis

In a bid to address Mumbai's worsening public transport woes, commuter welfare organisation ‘Aapli BEST Aaplyasathi’ has launched a citywide outreach initiative aimed at reviving the shrinking bus fleet of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking.

The group plans to personally meet all sitting MLAs and MPs representing Mumbai and its suburban constituencies. The objective is to evaluate the transport needs of each region, determine the minimum number of buses required, and urge elected representatives to extend financial support for the procurement of new BEST-owned buses.
