THE BRIHANMUMBAI Electric Supply and Transport undertaking (BEST)’s decision to take 400 CNG run buses off Mumbai’s roads starting Wednesday has caused much grief to the 35 lakh commuters who use the city’s transport service everyday. Passengers are having to endure longer queues and extended waiting time at bus stops in Dadar, Andheri, Jogeshwari, CSMT among other places where these buses largely operate.
Priyanka Shinde, a commuter who was travelling Dadar to Sewri, told The Indian Express that she had been waiting for her bus for a long time which was not the case earlier. “BEST should take immediate action so the operator can bring back those buses, otherwise now in summer, waiting for buses will be agonising.”
