in Mumbai. The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking has decided to gradually replace the larger red buses with midi buses to cater to the growing demand for public transportation in the city. This shift is aimed at improving efficiency and reducing operational costs for the BEST. The midi buses are smaller in size compared to the regular buses, making them more suitable for shorter routes and congested areas. However, with the larger buses being phased out, there is a concern about the void in last-mile connectivity for commuters. The BEST is working on optimizing its bus fleet to ensure that passengers are not inconvenienced by the transition. The midi buses are equipped with modern amenities and are more environmentally friendly, running on compressed natural gas (CNG). This move is in line with the government’s efforts to promote sustainable transportation in Mumbai. The BEST is also exploring options to introduce electric buses in the future to further reduce carbon emissions and improve air quality in the city. Despite the challenges posed by the transition from larger buses to midi buses, the BEST is committed to providing efficient and reliable public transportation services to the residents of Mumbai. The shift towards medium buses is expected to have a positive impact on the overall public transportation system in the city, offering a more sustainable and convenient mode of travel for commuters.
