It seems the hawking menace in the city has got the better of the BEST undertaking, too. It announced on social media that the Dadar-Worli bus route was short-terminated on Monday morning due to an increase in the number of hawkers near Dadar railway station. Commuters were surprised to read the tweet that said, “Due to the increase in number of hawkers on the MC Jawale Road near Dadar station west, bus route A-118 has been short-terminated near Kabutarkhana since 6.15 am.” 

Even as Mumbai continues to face transport issues with a lot of restrictions still in place, curtailing a bus route due to the menace of hawkers has drawn a lot of criticism from commuters.
