Mumbai's Iconic Double-Decker Buses To Be Decommissioned

Mumbai’s iconic double-decker BEST buses older than 15 years will go out of commission and the city has decided to auction these buses. Out of the 120 double-decker buses in BEST's fleet, about 100 buses have been decommissioned. The old buses are currently up for auction, however, they are not legally fit to ply on the road. The double-decker BEST buses have been operating in the city since 1937 and have been an integral part of the city’s public transportation system. On the bright side, BEST has also announced that it would add about 100 new double-decker buses with advanced features that will be added to the fleet by early 2021.
