Although the BEST undertaking refused to hold an official farewell event, overwhelmed Mumbaikars gathered in large numbers at Andheri on Friday to ride the non-AC double-decker bus one last time, as it drove into the sunset like the tram car did 59 years ago. Cooperating with citizens, the undertaking deputed staff at the local level to look after the arrangements.
