A Non-AC double-decker bus conducted its last ride in Mumbai on September 15. Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) has replaced Non-AC double-decker buses with AC double-decker buses. “Today is an emotional day, we all got emotional...my father used to take me out on this bus since I was a child and I have more than 2000 models of double-decker bus. I request BEST to keep these buses in a museum style,” said a passenger Yatin Angre.“We have a bond with double-decker buses. It is part of our family and we feel like someone from our family is leaving us. Double-decker buses are the pride of Mumbai, and we feel like it should continue its service,” said Gulabrao Aher, Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) employee.
