The bus fans felicitated the staff, cut a cake and took a ride from Dharavi depot to Gateway of India via the sea link
Mumbai’s double decker bus fans hired a bus for the day to give it a befitting farewell ride on Saturday. Designed on the lines of London’s iconic Routemaster model, only about 20-odd non-AC double deck buses now remain in the BEST fleet, all to be withdrawn from public service forever, and to be replaced with new AC ones in about a month.
“All these buses will go away soon. About 25 of us pitched in money, hired a bus and gave it a farewell—we felicitated the staff, cut a cake and took a ride from Dharavi depot to Gateway of India via the Bandra Worli Sea Link and back to Dharavi,” said Rupak Dhakate.
