The Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport undertaking (BEST) in Mumbai is bringing back 400 CNG buses back into the fleet. These buses went off the roads following three fire incidents reported in just a month’s time in 2023.
According to Lokesh Chandra, BEST general manager, the officials have already put 100 buses into service after the responsible agency carried out all repair work and necessary checks. In the next couple of days, the remaining buses will also be put back into the fleet, he added.
The BEST, in a statement earlier, had said that a team of TATA Motors engineering arrived from Lucknow and is in the process of re-examining all the buses for compliance of safety standards and safety norms.
