BEST’s loss may turn out to be MSRTC’s gain. While the Bombay Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) company is yet to respond to a year-old proposal by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to run a dedicated bus service from the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to Bandra and Sion -- the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has jumped at the opportunity. In a proposal submitted to MMRDA, the MSRTC has said that it wants to start dedicated bus services from BKC to a few important locations in the city.

If MSRTC’s proposal is accepted, then apart from the current fleet of double deckers, eco-friendly buses will ply on routes from BKC to Sion and Kurla stations. File Pic
