City transporter BEST's proposal to hire buses along with drivers and conductors has not gone down well with activists and experts, with the Aam Aadmi Party being the latest to slam it. AAP has threatened protests if the undertaking clears the proposal.

BEST committee members from BJP and Congress as well as unions have already opposed the plan. They said BEST will turn like Delhi's "notorious Blueline" where there was no administrative control over the behaviour of drivers and conductors. "Who will be responsible for accidents and their misdeeds. The good reputation of BEST will suffer," a committee member said.
