If things go according to plan, you could book a seat on a BEST bus route, through Uber. As BEST is going in for a complete overhaul, Uber has approached it to help give it an online presence. This is also expected to get citizens to use public transport, besides raising profits through advertisements that will come on a BEST application. The new municipal commissioner also seems to be interested in commercialising bus depots, a plan that had been put on ice for a very long time.

The BEST will have an application which will show details of buses scheduled to arrive at bus stops. The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has signed an MoU with the BEST, wherein it will pay R100 crore every month for a year to the undertaking, and has asked it to utilise the funds for the overhaul. BEST is currently reeling under a loss of Rs 2,500 crore.
