Mumbai transport: BEST to add 1,300 e-buses to its fleet

Hindustan Times  

MUMBAI: The Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport Undertaking received a boost on Monday, as in the first day of the winter session of the state legislature in Nagpur, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that 1,300 electric buses will be added to its fleet soon. Meanwhile, before Fadnavis’s announcement, BEST had placed orders for 2,300 buses, which include 2100 AC single-decker 12-metre-long e-buses and 200 AC double-decker e-buses. The state government’s announcement comes at a time when the wet-lease model adopted by BEST has received much flak in view of the recent spate of accidents involving buses driven by drivers from outsourced vendors. Following the Kurla accident, BEST sought a detailed explanation from the six wet-lease operators about their recruitment policies, driver training modalities, salaries, background checks done before recruitment and speeds set in their bus fleets.
