Drivers and conductors of a private contractor, from whom BEST has wet-leased buses, went on a flash strike at Ghatkopar and Mulund bus depots on Wednesday morning, disrupting services. Over 160 buses were stuck inside bus depots due to the call by the around 500 participants, and commuters were affected unexpectedly on a working day.
In a wet-lease model, private transport operators own the vehicles. The responsibility of maintaining buses, fuel and salaries of drivers is with the contractor.
