In a sharp turn of events, the BEST committee on Tuesday took up the issue of three rotting double-decker buses lying under the JJ flyover, previously highlighted by mid-day, and suggested bringing them back on the roads via heritage routes. The discussion comes at a symbolic time, as BEST marks 100 years of bus operations in Mumbai.

What triggered the move

Raising a point of order, BEST committee member Ajay Singh called out the condition of the buses:
“I visited the area and found that these buses are just standing there without any purpose and getting damaged and ruined. The area has become a hub of druggies and unsafe. It is all giving a bad name to the BEST undertaking,” Singh said.
