Mumbaikars can now travel across the city in any AC or non-AC, Mini/Midi/Single or double-deckers Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) buses by just paying ₹60. The passenger can travel unlimited number of times for 24 hours with this one ticket.
This ticket can also be booked online on ridlr app and you can travel across the city and suburbs without the hassle of buying tickets again.
However, the non-AC travellers can get the ticket for unlimited journeys throughout the day, at the price of ₹50.
Moreover, on Wednesday, December 23, the BEST official also announced that a total of 49 new electric buses will arrive on city roads before December 31. This will take the total fleet of e-buses to 121. At present, the city has a fleet of over 4,800 buses.
Meanwhile, the electric charging infrastructure has been created at Backbay, Worli, Malvani and Shivaji Nagar depots. They will soon come up at at least 10 more depots, said sources.
A citizens group had launched an online petition, demanding e-charging infrastructure at all 27 BEST bus depots in the city. As a result, these are electric buses with lifts for the differently-abled and they already are a hit with commuters on the Cuffe-Parade- Sion route where 26 buses were launched earlier this month.
