Mumbai's BEST buses face safety, political challenges

Mumbai's BEST buses, which many people rely on every day, are facing big problems.

The city used to have mostly public buses, but now most are run by private companies.

This has led to more accidents, especially with buses from one company called Olectra.

Politicians promised to fix these issues before, but not much has changed.

Now, as elections approach, different parties are making new promises about improving bus services.

Some want to stop using private buses, while others want more electric buses and lower fares.

The main concern is making sure all buses are safe and well-maintained.
