Best bus services in the city will now be streamlined for school students. The move comes after complaints of school bus fare hikes by parents and readiness of the public transport service provider to make its buses available for students. The BEST undertaking on Tuesday announced that more buses and services would be made available as and when required for students.

“The BEST undertaking will prioritise school students taking the public transport and more bus inspectors and supervisors will be nominated on routes heavy with students’ commute. If need be and as per demand, we may also run additional bus services and see to it that students are least inconvenienced,” a BEST spokesperson said.
