Best Bus

The transportation wing of Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport Undertaking (BEST Undertaking) operates a large number of bus lines in the Mumbai metropolitan area. These buses are called BEST or BEST bus. BEST bus serves the entire Mumbai City. It has operations outside city limits into neighboring Navi Mumbai, Thane and Mira-Bhayandar. In addition to buses, it operates a ferry service in the northern reaches of the city.[1] The BEST operates bus rapid transit service — Mumbai BRTS. Mumbai BRTS is a massive bus rapid transit system taken up by the MCGM, B.E.S.T. Undertaking, and Government of Maharashtra. The Mumbai BRTS began operation in 2008. The present BEST undertaking was started as an electric supply company which then branched out to provide bus and tram services. In 1964, electric trams were terminated due to high operational costs and poor public support.

Currently, BEST bus use King Long, Higer single-deck bus including Volvo B9L/Wrights; some of the double deckers are using Volvo B9TL/Wright Eclipse Gemini 2.
