The BEST bus service
July 6, 2005 05:42 AM
I discovered recently that BEST, Mumbai's bus service has a website! And they have listed all bus routes and fares on the website, including a map of the routes. The website is a wealth of info, very unlike a government website. Don't forget to check the interesting history section and the electricity calculation chart. Here are some interesting tidbits I got from the website -
Bus Route No. 166 - plies on roads interconnecting maximum Hospitals.
Bus Route No. 161 - This route covers on the way maximum Oil Reservoirs and unpopulated areas in Eastern wings of the city.
Bus Route No. 9 - A network of large number of school and colleges is interwoven by this route.
Bus Route No. 320, 22ltd., 25ltd. - These routes have an outstanding feature of connecting two largest water reservoirs of the city.
Bus Route No. 1,66,202 - Round the clock operating bus routes.

Yashwant, I too think it is 6 seats in 3 rows on the left side of the bus. The first seat in the left is for the handicapped.

BEST, the name itself is best. People from Hindustan Motors ,Hosur are maintaining the electrical and electronic services of BEST and they say BEST authorities are more concerned about the passenger safty - for example normally in all government buses the body of the bus is used as the neutral but in BEST neutral is separated from the body, so no harm to people having pacemakers.
