The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) has decided to launch a new feeder route in the next few months for the convenience of commuters.

Bus services will be started from the metro railway station to a residential area or office premises and back. According to sources, this service will benefit the passengers going to and from the metro station.

Meanwhile, at bus stops on various routes, passengers have to wait for half to half an hour. Therefore, BEST has said that the route has been changed for the purpose of making the bus available in 15 minutes.

In order to increase the number of passengers, the bus (feeder route) services for the residential and office premises has been initiated from the east and west of the railway station in the last few months. There are 1,360 buses plying on about 206 routes. Now it has been decided to connect the metro stations with BEST just like the railway stations and it is understood that the planning has been done accordingly.

Dahanukarwadi to Aarey Road in Metro 2A (Dahisar to DN Nagar) and Dahisar to Aarey in Metro 7 (Andheri East to Dahisar East) will be in service till March 2022 or earlier. At present, Ghatkopar to Andheri to Versova Metro is also running and there is no feeder route service for them.
