New and cool! At least 30 new bright red air-conditioned BEST buses have been spotted inside the Magathane bus depot near Borivli, giving hope that the Undertaking which will be scrapping 900 buses is procuring new ones simultaneously.

"Yes, the new buses are in and parked at Magathane bus depot. These are wet-lease buses. The process of their registration etc with the RTO is complete and they are now waiting for the installation of software linked with the Integrated Transport Management System (ITMS) software so that they can be formally inducted," a senior official said.
