Mumbai: BEST now owns just over 1,000 buses

Information obtained via RTI shows that bus undertaking is nowhere close to owning the minimum mandated number of self-owned vehicles

The latest RTI figures have revealed that BEST’s own fleet is down to nearly 1,000 buses, with 2,200-plus buses taken by the undertaking on wet lease (contractor-owned with their staff). The data also reveals that BEST no longer has any double-decker buses of its own, and the 50 electric ones running are also on wet lease.
