The city’s swank electric double-decker fleet is slowly swelling, with the recommendations and issues pointed out by citizens in the first set of buses taken into account and changes made accordingly on the new buses. The five new double-deckers arrived on Saturday, taking their total number to seven. These buses will be pressed into service this week.

BEST General Manager Lokesh Chandra confirmed the arrival of the buses and said changes suggested by Mumbaikars have been incorporated. “One of the key changes has been the removal of the seat next to the front staircase, which was leading to problems for commuters alighting from the upper deck,” he said.
