Summary:
The Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) administration has formalised new fare chart with base fare starting from Rs 5. As per the proposal drafted on June 20, the Undertaking has revised the base fare at Rs 5 for first 5 kms. Gradually up to 10 kms and 15 kms, the BEST will charge Rs 10 and Rs 15 respectively in the revised fare structure. Off these around 55% of them travel for first 5 kms in BEST buses. The main problems are dropping average speed of BEST buses and its punctuality," said Sunil Ganacharya, member, BEST Committee..
