BEST is best.

After so many days I traveled in local train. I had to go to visit my brother in law who was admitted in hospital in lower Parel. Since I have arrived in Mumbai I am avoiding local trains. Its not that I am scared away by Terrorist acts in it…it’s just that I don’t want to travel in now-too-crowded trains. BEST buses are the best. Now by BEST I don’t mean they are best, it’s the name of Mumbai bus Transport Corporation. BEST is acronym for (Bombay Electric Supply and Transport) and it BEST is pronounced as beastee. BEST buses have one of the most well managed networks of buses which cover each and every corner of Mumbai. As much as I have traveled Mumbai has best transport system with Local Trains and BEST buses.


Day by day population of Mumbai is increasing exponentially. The effect of rise in population can be seen on public transportation system. Previously buses and trains were crowded only during office hours, but now they are crowded all the time. Most of the offices in Mumbai have altered their timings to prevent rush hours. Roads and Signals are jammed all the time now.

Mumbai desperately needs Metro. Construction of Metro will start in Mumbai from October 2006 and first phase of metro project will complete in year 2008.

Lets hope we have a hassle free transportation in near future.
