BEST Inducts 150 Electric Buses for Greener Mumbai Transport

Mumbai's bus service, BEST, has received 150 new electric buses to make traveling cleaner and better.

The Chief Minister was there to see the new buses, which are quiet and don't make the air dirty.

These buses will help people get around busy areas and connect them to train stations and metro lines.

They even have special ramps for older people and those with disabilities.

The buses have cameras and special systems to keep track of them.

There are two different kinds of buses from two companies, PMI and Olectra.

One kind is easier to get on and off because it's lower, while the other can travel a bit farther on one charge.

BEST wants all its buses to be electric by 2027 to help keep Mumbai's air clean.

The transport body has many buses already, both owned and leased, and these new ones will help serve millions of people every day.
