&ldquo;The foreign tourist segments of tour bus operators are contributing for stickers and glow signs that would be pasted behind buses,&rdquo; said Harsh Kotak, president, Mumbai Private Buses Association, which is participating in the drive.
There are around 1,500 private buses that ply in Mumbai every day and out of these, around 150 or so are meant for tourists. Operators of these 150 buses will be giving away five per cent of their earnings for the campaign.
The ticket fares on these buses, typically meant for Mumbai Darshan, include the cost of donation for stickers meant to promote road safety. The tickets cost is between R500 to R2,000 depending on the type of bus, which varies from 8-seater to 35-seater.
