Poor response forces BEST to scrap two Freeway buses

MUMBAI: Two fast-track bus routes were introduced via the Eastern Freeway to encourage citizens to use public transport while travelling from SoBo to the suburbs. But the BEST has now been forced to yank off the two services from EFW because of "poor response".

According to the officials, the routes—an air-conditioned bus A-8 from Electric House in Colaba to Mulund check naka via EFW and a C-9 from S P Mukherjee Chowk (near Regal Cinema) to Ghatkopar—will be scrapped from Thursday.

"We launched the two routes based on a survey conducted by the BEST and the demand made by a group of citizens. But in reality, we found that these buses were plying almost empty on several occasions, which is why we have decided to discontinue the service," the official said.

Transport expert Ashok Datar said BEST should have created awareness before launching buses on EFW. The public response has also been poor on other routes, two of them being Metro feeder routes. "We plan to continue services for six more months on Metro feeder routes," an official said.
