Following the Kurla BEST (Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport) bus crash, the Ulhasnagar Municipal Corporation (UMC) has started inspecting its bus drivers, focusing on their performance and health to ensure safety and prevent future mishaps.

According to Vinod Keni, the head of the transport department at UMC, driver inspections will now be mandatory following the Kurla BEST bus crash incident, which has raised serious concerns over passenger safety on buses. “Drivers will be permitted to operate buses only after a thorough examination of their fitness and training,” said Keni.
