BEST Announces New Bus Routes and Service Updates from November 1
The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking has unveiled major updates to its bus network effective November 1. The new plan includes the launch of additional routes, optimization of existing services, cancellation of select segments, and conversion of several lines to air-conditioned operations, all intended to improve passenger comfort and operational efficiency.
Introduction of Route A-101
One of the key additions is route A-101, linking the World Trade Center with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus. The service will run through essential city spots including G D Somani Road, President Hotel, Colaba, Hutatma Rajguru Chowk, and Madame Cama Road. Buses will operate six days a week, from Monday to Saturday.
Route A-101 aims to enhance connectivity in south Mumbai by connecting major commercial and transportation hubs.
The return route will cover Hutatma Chowk, Veer Nariman Road, and Churchgate, ensuring efficient links across central areas.
Revisions to Existing Routes
- Route A-1: Earlier between Electric House and Colaba Depot, it will now terminate at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and operate between CSMT and Santacruz Depot only.
- Route A-6: Will run between Backbay Depot and Tata Power Station with adjusted timings and revised stops.
- Routes A-44, A-47, A-48, and A-49: Updated by modifying route lengths or shifting terminal points to improve system efficiency.
These modifications underline BEST’s efforts to modernize city transport while providing greater commuter comfort through air-conditioned buses and better route coverage.
