Motorists in the city using CNG-fuelled cars can now book slots on their cell phones to refuel at the city’s bus depots. The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport Undertaking (BEST) opened its Ghatkopar and Oshiwara bus depots to the public on Thursday and users can book slots for refuelling through the ‘MGL Tez’ app. There are plans to start the facility at 13 depots across Mumbai.
“The newly-launched mobile application allows users of CNG four-wheelers to book time slots for refuelling at the CNG facility at BEST bus depots. Available on Google Play, the MGL Tez app will minimise the wait for CNG vehicle owners who can pre-book a time slot as per their convenience,” said an official. The depots will have a dedicated CNG dispenser specifically for bookings made through the app and users can book time slots between 9.00 am and 07.00 pm, on any day of the week. “Payments can be made digitally,” the official added.
