Although the BEST undertaking refused to hold an official farewell event, overwhelmed Mumbaikars gathered in large numbers at Andheri on Friday to ride the non-AC double-decker bus one last time, as it drove into the sunset like the tram car did 59 years ago. Cooperating with citizens, the undertaking deputed staff at the local level to look after the arrangements.
Amid multiple cake cuttings, bouquet exchanges and recollection of memories, the crowd swelled to such a point that two policemen present at the depot had to rescue the bus from fans clamouring for photos, rides and selfies. The crowd comprised bus fans, members of NGOs, and other citizens. The bus made small circles around Andheri bus station to satisfy its fans while ensuring that its regular trips weren’t compromised.
