The BEST committee chairman rushed through a proposal on a digital ticketing system and it will cause losses to the bus undertaking if the management goes ahead with it, the BJP has alleged.

“We took a press conference yesterday [Monday] and alerted the management that if the BEST accepts tenders which have come in for its digital ticket initiative, it will face a loss of Rs 35 crore which would put an added burden on a system that is already facing massive fund crunch,” said BJP leader Prabhakar Shinde.
