Just a day after mid-day reported about the discontinuation of the BEST bus service on route A-101 from CSMT to the Gateway, the Undertaking restarted the route on Friday and introduced four mini-buses that will ply between CST (near Traffic Island) and Dr SP Mukherjee Chowk. However, citizens are of the view that the arm-twisting of share auto and taxi unions has forced the withdrawal of bus services at many areas across the city and suburbs.

mid-day in it's page 1 report on February 6 (Commuters cry foul as BEST discontinues popular SoBo route) had highlighted how the BEST Undertaking allegedly withdrew the service on route A-101 just to facilitate taxi operators, a charge that they denied, saying that there was a poor response.
