Stating that the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) should not repeat the mistakes it committed in the past by not saving a single tram car, the activists have asked the undertaking to save one bus of every model as Mumbai’s public transporter undergoes major churning.

“The buses we see today will be memories tomorrow. We have called for saving one bus of every type for future generations so that they can be more than just photographs. They can remove the engines and keep the shell and put it on display at their museum. In absence of central documentation, it will give an idea to the future generations of the kinds of buses used by the undertaking,” said Rupak Dhakate, who wrote a letter in this regard in April 2020 to the general manager’s office.
