The reduced deployment led to long queues and extended waiting times at bus stops across the city
Many commuters turned to Mumbai's suburban railway network, Metro services and other modes of transport to reach their destinations
The indefinite strike, which began on Friday, was withdrawn late Sunday night following talks between employee unions and Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde
Among BEST employees, 835 drivers reported for duty against the required strength of 1,454, while 1,325 conductors were present against a scheduled requirement of 2,198.
