"For metro connection, BEST has 27 routes for Line 2A (Dahisar-DN Nagar) and 49 routes for line 7 (Andheri East-Dahisar East). Two new routes will start, one each for Line 2 A and line 7," BEST General Manager Lokesh Chandra told mid-day.
“The BEST undertaking has been trying to keep pace with the changing public transport needs of the fast-paced city,” Chandra said.
BEST officials said they were making an effort to sync the bus route timetable with the Metro timetable as a feeder service to Mumbai Metro lines as they open one by one. This is a larger way to encourage public transport in the city.
MMRDA officials said they had done multi-modal integration at Metro stations and the BEST undertaking buses that will be operated as feeder services, will prove to be of big help for commuters for last mile connectivity.
