[Resolved]  B. E. S. T. Undertaking — Suggest AC bus on Route # 459 ltd

I always used to express my feeling thru letter to the editor columns of News papers on social, political and other matters.

Dear sir,
The Best has started a new A/C route (AS 51) from Vashi Station to Ghatkopar Via Airoli which goes empty almost all the time. I wold rerquest the Best authorities to reintroduce this bus from Seawoods or Nerul Rly. Station to Thane via Vashi, Koparkhairane, Thane Belapur Road, Airloi Bridge and Octroi Naka on the E.E.Highway to Cadbury Jn. It will have a good patronage. Will the BEST look into the matter.The present 512 and 511 route takes so much time to reach Mulund as much of the time is wasted in traficjams in Mulund station area.

Yes,

Even I would like to suggest AC kinkong buses need to start between Central Stations ( Thane / Mulund) till Malad (Inorbit Mall).

BEST — AC buses are not stopping at Green field stop

From the last 2 or 3 days all AC buses are not stopping at Green field BusStop JVLR Andheri East. As this area is residential area, many people will get down there. I don't know why they have eliminated this Bus Stop for AC buses.

I am daily using the BEST bus no. 459Ltd to travelling from BHANDUP POLICE STN. W to Chincholi Bunder (Malad W). I have no option to use any alternate bus route from Chincholi Bunder to Bhandup. So pls I have request you to send atleast within 15 min. back to back more than buses. because of i have facing the problems last 2, 3 months.

I am fully agree with that 1) increas the frequancy of 459 or start new A/c or Non A/c bus in same route
2)Give the special training to Bus conductor to STOP the bus on every 459 BUS stop 3) Give the fee eyes check up if conductores cant see the every bus stop 4) If bus driver is did'n stop the bus on every stop, kindly through out that driver from his service at immediate basis.

Dear Sir,

Best has started various new AC Bus routes in Mumbai.Great Job indeed.
But what about Thane areas like Vasanth Vihar / Hiranandani Medows / Pawar Nagar etc.????

Request BEST to start a A/C OR NON AC BUS SERVICE IN THE FOLLOWING ROUTES IN THANE.

1. AC BUS PAWAR NAGAR / HIRANANDANI MEADOWS TO SANTACRUZ STN VIA VASATH VIHAR - MAJIWADA -TEEN HATH NAKA- LBS MARG -POWAI- SAKI NAKA - INERNATIONAL AIRPORT - DOMESTIC AIRPORT- VAKOLA - SANTACRUZ STN

2. AC BUS PAWAR NAGAR / HIRANANDANI MEADOWS TO BACKBAY DEPOT VIA VASATH VIHAR - MAJIWADA -TEEN HATH NAKA- E.E.HIGHWAY -CHEMBUR - PRIYADARSHINI - WADALA IMAX ROUTE - ANIK DEPOT - SEWREE - LION GATE - G.P.O - V.T- CHURCHGATE -MANTRALAYA - BACKBAY DEPOT.

At present there is no BEST Bus service from Hiranandani Meadows / Vasanth Vihar area to Mumbai or south Mumbai.

Request Best to do some thing urgently about it for the people residing in this area.

Thanks & Regards,

BEST has done good job by starting new AC route AS-512. It is blessing for the people traveling to Navi Mumbai.. But I have a suggestion about the route.. BEST must divert the route from Mulund West Station- Mulund East Station- Mhada Colony( Eastern Express highway)-Arioli Bridge.. It will be a blessing for Mulund East People.Currently there are 2 non ac buses from Mulund(E) 513 & bus from NMMT which are heavily crowded.. There are hundreads of commuters demanding an AC route from Mulund(E). Also AS-512 route from Nirmal lifestyle is also served by AS-51 route. If they want they can take AS-512 from Jhonson & then via Mulund Depot- Mulund stn- Mulund (E)-Airoli... Please do the needful at the earliest...

Dear sir,

I travel between chembur and navimumbai and also to chembur and thane.

why there is no stop of any of buses routes AS-1, AS-3 & AS-5 at postal colony.after chedda nagar the next stop is at suman nagar.people staying in postal colony, shellcolony and in around chembur station have no option to use the same services as we have to either get down at chedda nagar or suman nagar and take connecting non AC bus.i am regular Diamond Pass holder and i stay in Shellcolony.

Also why don, t you start a route to navimumbai maybe from Sion depot which will ply on eastern express highway and take a right turn from cheddanagar junction and then to Navi Mumbai.Currently we have to go to Diamond garden or suman nagar if we need to go to Navi-Mumbai.

So please do the needful at the earliest and revert back to me on the same.

BEST Bus-Seepz to Vashi — Bus starts very late

From MBP, Navi Mumbai to Seepz there is a bus 525. The first bus is at 8:30 AM, and by the time it reahes office its very late.
Can we start it little early say 7 or 8 AM and from earlier stops?
BEST can reduce the number of buses in afternoon

Respected Sir,
Is there a BEST AC Bus from Bhayandar (west) to Andheri( Saki Naka or Marol) ... Please start a service as lots of people travel to andheri..

Thank you.

I agree with Mr.Ranson for a Ac bus From Bhayandar (west) towards andheri.

Regards,

The Best has started a bus no.502 from Nerul to Wadala. Its good for the people living at sanpada and juinagar.. please start this as A/C bus..
Please start a new A/C and Non A/C bus from the same route to Byculla or CST..
As there is no HALF TICKET in A/C bus, we has to think twice when we r with kids.. please make a half ticket also..

BEST has done good job by starting new AC route AS-551. It is blessing for the people traveling from Nerul/Sanpada to Seepz.. But I have a suggestion about the route.. the bus should not enter Mulund from Mulund Airoli and instead take a Left to eastern express Highway and then turn right to Ghandhi nagar at Kanjurmarg and proceed towards seez. This will save Half an hour in over all journey... presentaly it takes 1 1/2 hour to reeach thus making the journey very difficult

Dear Sir,

It is good to see that BEST undertaking has introduced additional bus routs for Airoli. 514, 522, 525, 509, 545 these new routs had helped a lot to passeners on this routs. It is my request if BEST undertakingmake some moditifications in these routs,
1) Bus No 514 should be diverted via Airoli Bus Stand, as 512 is already, there so 514 as it is a short rout will help SECTOR 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 20A, 20B commuters to direct access to Bhandup Sonapur, Nirmal Life Style etc. On similar fashion

2) Bus No. 522 should be diverted via Airoli Depot, as 523 & 525 are already there, so 522 as it is a short rout will help SECTOR 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 20A, 20B commuters to direct access to Bhandup Sonapur, Bhandup Police Station, Kanjur etc.

3) Bus No. 513 should be stoped there at Airoli Bus Stand & should be extended there from Gawanpada, Mulund till Teen Hath Naka on 373 bus rout till upto Mulund bus station/ check naka. It will help many commuters on from Teen Hath Naka to Mulund Check naka a directly access to Airoli. As NMMTs 100 No bus already running on the same rout & from Airoli Bus Station to Mahape there are 595, future from above request point 1 & 2 514 & 522 & also Various NMMTs buses are there including 100 No.

is as-13 AC busstops near airoli bridge? plz reply?

Dear Sir,

My name is Ravindra. I am residing in Jijamata Nagar, Worli. I am working in the area of Sangam-nagar wadala (E).My working route is Jijamata Nagar - B.D.D. Chawl - Sangam Nagar. I have a monthly City Pass.

Bus no 110, the route is BDD chawl to Sangam Nagar. Sometimes what happens, same number and same description bus comes. But, in bracket there were written PLAZA. If this bus will be going to PLAZA, why they write 110 and Sangam-nagar. People become used to number. If they see number, they are automatically are known where this bus will go.They don't read description.

If the above is going to PLAZA, why they write 110 and Sangam-nagar.Commutors get confused in this regards.They get into the bus by back door and get down from front door.Sometimes commutors drawn the tickets, conductor give them ticket, then tell them this bus is only for PLAZA. Then they get down in PLAZA and go for next 110.Then argument start. Somdays conductor keeps shouting PLAZA to avoid the confusion.
Why these confusion are happening.
My Opinion - if any bus leaving from BDD chawl for PLAZA. They should not write bus number and any other description. They should write "PLAZA" only.or decide any fix number for PLAZA.So commuters would be known that is bus will be heading for PLAZA. Conductors also need not to shout Plaza Plaza Plaza.

I hope this suggestion could be very beneficial for BEST buses.

Waiting for your prompt response.

send your reply on my mail ID.

Many of the AC buses have stops which are very very long. For example in BEST website, it was mentioned the AS 2 bus stops at Vakola police station, but it does not and goes over the flyover.

However, at Bandra there are 2 stops, one at Kherwadi and Kalanagar. So, there should be 1 stop at Vakola Police Station.

Many a times, this bus goes empty. If they stop at Vakola on both sides of the route, there will be more people who will take this bus.
