The Navi Mumbai transport body has introduced a new route to Bhiwandi from Airoli in the city. Started on August 1, the frequency of the service will be 25 to 30 minutes.
Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) officials stated that a large number of workers from the city travel to Bhiwandi for work. Therefore, this bus service is likely to benefit them.
The route of the bus is Airoli, Thane, Majiwada, Bhiwandi Bypass, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk and other en route. The civic transport wing has appealed to citizens to use the new service.

For those unversed, Bhiwandi is an industrial area and there are a large number of power looms and warehouses for e-commerce companies.
Meanwhile, NMMT runs a number of services out of civic jurisdiction and many of them are profitable. In fact, they generate more business than services that run within the city.
Besides, on May 1, the Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) reportedly announced that it would be running AC buses for south Mumbai, Thane and Navi Mumbai, round the clock, starting Monday, May 2.
