The new AC King Long buses not only have a modern look but are also becoming popular among the commuters. The fares of the new buses, introduced on the BRTS routes in the city, are also the highest among other BEST buses.
“Instead of the old AC buses, we are planning to introduce the new state-of-art buses,” said BEST General Manager Uttam Khobragade. He added, “We had received complaints from commuters regarding the old AC buses. In addition, most of them had them are over 10 years old. Since we do not want to scrap these buses, we have decided to convert them into normal buses that be used on other routes for a few more years,” added Khobragade. The BEST usually scraps a non-AC bus after every 15 years. Also, a proposal of introducing a double deck AC bus in the city was submitted before the BEST committee early this week.
