Bus drivers and conductors of BEST on Friday assured the Bombay High Court that they would not strike work or remain absent from duty to protest against implementation of a new computerised scheduling system at the suburban Malad bus depot on an experimental basis.

President of the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply & Transport (BEST) Workers' Union Uday Amonkar gave this assurance to Justice N M Jamdar, who was hearing a petition filed by the Union challenging the BEST management's decision to implement the new scheduling system at the Malad depot.
