The best bus services in Mumbai are a boon to the city. The city could not have been better than the 2 pillars of transportation the railways and the Best bus.

They have a varied history to it and have retained thier look and services over the years.

The reason i write about the Best bus services as i read a lot of negative publicity and falk being received by this service. It is by no way close in comparision to the blueline buses of Delhi which are called the killer buses.

I take the priviledge to introduce you some startling facts about it. Every thing has its pros and cons. The prs in comparision to its shortcomings are so many that it overshadows its shortcomings and infact there has never been an effort to address the shortcomings which can be removed by implemeting some good governance.


The first thing is that in the cases in which the Best bus drivers are to be blamed for being involved in a fatal accident is no fact finding is done to who is the culprit and the best bus is blamed. The road conditions are appaling. If we consider the no of people who ruch across the bus and the buses apply breaks to give them another lifer is sufficient evidence for people inside the bus that another life was saved.

If we look at the size proportion of the bus it is a huge vehicle which on the move carries a lot of inertia. If the best bus applies the brakes ad if God forbid anything that does just have a miniscule contact with it is bound to take the full force of the inertia and the results will be fatal. We have to give respect to the buses who ply the road and give it way.

The bus drivers are seated in a top position which makes it difficult for them to see people / small vehicles darting across it. The seats of the drivers are the most unconfortable for such long driving and should be provided with bucket seats. There should be aircondtioning installed so they are at peace and cool while driving so that it makes it a pleasure for them. They have to take care of every small vehicle on the road which tries to show off against it.

The best bust has never been involved in a major accident, drunk driving, running over of innocent people on the pavements. My heart goes out to them and i pay a salute to the drivers who go about their jobs with a smile.
How many of us appreciate the efforts of saying a thank you for making you reach your destination safely.
