Summary:
They will also procure 200 regular mini buses, 50 midi buses, 11 non-AC midi buses. To increase the number of AC buses, they will also acquire 40 midi AC buses, 11 midi AC buses running on diesel, and 200 mini AC buses on wet-lease. They asked the BEST committee to approve procurement of 1,000 buses in this year's budget, primarily those that are smaller in structure. The BEST administration said on Thursday smaller buses seem to be the answer for Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) to compete against taxis and auto rickshaws operating on share basis. These buses include the 40 AC midi electric buses under the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric (FAME) scheme..
