According to BEST officials, the package will not only entertain commuters but will help the Undertaking earn extra revenue.
"We started the service in a few buses last week. Soon, all buses will have it," said Dilip Patel, chairman, BEST.
The show will also have bus conductors and drivers advising the passengers on safe travel.
According to one bus conductor, "Passengers are enjoying their ride with this new system. Overall, we have received a positive response."
However, commuters don't agree. "It is a good effort, but due to the traffic noise, it is impossible to listen to the songs," said Nisha Patil, who commutes by BEST daily.
