The BEST will soon have a fleet of 6,000 buses and there will be no looking back. People do not bother where the buses are coming from, all they want is buses," this is what BEST General Manager Surendra Bagade said at a webinar on 'Take the Bus: A Path to Sustainable Future for Maharashtra' organised by a Pune-based organisation Parisar for Sustainable Urban Mobility Network (SUM Net).

"The important thing for commuters is that they should get buses. I do believe that deployment has become easy due to private participation," he said.
