In the face of fare hikes for BEST bus commuters, MNS corporator Bhalachandra Ambure offers to give up his free 5-year pass, and inspires 28 other representatives of the civic body to follow suit
Being elected as a corporator immediately catapults a citizen to the upper echelons of political circles and gives the elected individual a free ticket to an array of privileges and exemptions. But Bhalchandra Ambure, an MNS corporator has shocked many and inspired some by relinquishing his free BEST pass that entitles him to free bus rides all through his tenure. And to prove that he is not the exception that proves the rule, 28 corporators have followed suit, taking the high road and returning their free passes.
