A day after taking over as chairman of the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking, Shiv Sena leader Pravin Shinde told Mid-Day that he will do everything to get more buses in the fleet with more double-deckers and stop dependence on other public transporters.

“It is a matter of concern that BEST has to borrow buses from other public transporters. This needs to stop. My priority is to get more and more buses of our own in the fleet,” Shinde, a corporator from Jogeshwari, said.
