Thackeray on Mumbai's BEST: Challenges and Solutions

Mumbai's public bus system, BEST, is in trouble.

The government made bus fares twice as expensive, and fewer people are using them.

The author, Aaditya Thackeray, believes the government is making the BEST worse by increasing fares and reducing the number of buses.

He suggests solutions like better leadership, cheaper fares, more electric buses, and improved bus stops to fix the system.

He thinks that the BEST is crucial for the city's people to get around affordably.
