Mumbai's love for its double-decker buses may be unflinching, but a corner of a Santacruz depot offers a stark contrast. Here a bunch of AC double-decker buses bought for tourist rides is rusting for over two years. While the vehicles have almost turned into junk, the MTDC said it is making an effort to revive them.

"Here are eleven swank double deckers rotting. Mumbai has a special connection with double deckers. Something must be done to bring these back into service," bus enthusiast Shubham Padave said.
