Despite BEST buses running in losses, four 31-seater electric buses will run on streets from November 10 which costs INR 1 crore each. The inauguration will take place at Wadala bus depot on Friday with the presence of Yuva Sena chief Aaditya Thackeray.
In order to curb air pollution, BEST decided to bring in electric buses which do not run on fuel but only on charging. Once the bus gets charged, it can run at 200 km per hour. However, the only charging point is at Colaba bus depot. In an initial phase, six electric buses will be introduced.
