Mumbai's BEST administration announced significant changes to the city's bus network, effective October 5. The reorganization entails modifying 14 routes, discontinuing one low-demand service, and implementing AC services on eight ordinary routes. The alterations will impact key areas such as Ghatkopar, Andheri, Borivali, and Sion.
Three routes from Majas depot - A-22, A-35, and A-39 - will now terminate at SEEPZ rather than the depot. Route A-30 will be extended from Ramabai Nagar through Ghatkopar and Vikhroli depot. The A-419 and A-427 will operate from Ghatkopar depot to Sangharsh Nagar and Filter Pada. Additionally, A-433 will be extended to JVPD bus station instead of terminating at Andheri station.
During peak hours, additional services will be introduced on routes A-42, A-245, and A-276. However, route A-471 connecting Ghatkopar to Borivali East will be discontinued due to insufficient response. The BEST administration aims to improve service frequency and alleviate crowding with these changes.
Eight routes, including numbers 153, 223, 242, 249, 266, 312, 423, and C-505, will be converted into AC services. The BEST administration believes these changes will enhance the overall bus experience for Mumbai's commuters.
