Taking note of the inconvenience caused to people going to BKC from Bandra, Kurla or Sion and vice versa, the planning authority decided to bear the full cost of the buses and will make sure the ticket rates are lower than what BEST today charges for the limited number of special buses it runs on the routes.

“We will be purchasing 15-20 buses, and these low-floor buses will be provided to BEST so that these can be used by people coming BKC,” MMRDA Joint Project Director Dilip Kawatkar said.
