This Fool’s Day, the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) Undertaking pulled a fast one on physically-challenged commuters. On Friday, it withdrew its entire 10-year-old fleet of 30 low floor Tata Star buses, which catered largely to physically-challenged commuters of South Mumbai.

The low floor buses, which ran on CST-Churchgate-Nariman Point route as well as to and from Nariman Point via Old Custom House and Fort, had been a boon for physically-challenged commuters and a large number of officer-goers. File pic
