A chapter in the city’s transport history drew to a close on October 11 as a group of BEST bus enthusiasts gathered at Malvani bus depot to bid farewell to one of the last self-owned Ashok Leyland CNG buses procured under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) scheme 15 years ago.

The farewell was organised with the same passion that has marked earlier goodbyes for iconic bus models, including the Ashok Leyland MUTP, double-decker, and Tata CNG buses.
