Experience in BEST Bus Travel in Mumbai

Mumbai previously Bombay, capital of the Indian state of Maharashtra. As of 2009, Mumbai is the largest city in the world in terms of population, with the city proper having a population of around 14 million inhabitants and along with the neighbouring cities of Navi Mumbai and Thane, it forms an urban agglomeration with around 19 million people. Mumbai lies on the west coast of India and has a deep natural harbour. Mumbai is also the commercial and entertainment centre of India, We can find all categories of people like industrialists, film-stars, artists, workers, teachers and clerks - all living cheek-by-jowl in soaring skyscrapers and sprawling slums. They come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and speak over a dozen tongues, adding colour, flavour and texture to the Great Mumbai Melting Pot.

There is a reason why am writing this topic. Every body knows Mumbai is one of the most major cities of India. We can find various people from various state and country. So life is busy and much faster then in Mumbai compare to other cities of India.

Some though might say Mumbai bus travel is a form of distress. The hopeful might call it a �life experience�. That�s why the excellent train network is the preferred transport in Mumbai where available.

The only disadvantage which is common to all Bus travel is the traffic on the roads. No big city anywhere in this world is free of traffic jams. Same is the state here. It takes around 1 to 2 or even 3 hrs sometimes for a one-way journey. So total of minimum 3 hrs traveling everyday!

I always travel in BEST Bus. Some how the bus service provided by BEST good but not better. I am last 2 months in Mumbai and traveling in BEST bus every day. What I feeling every day from BEST bus services that I am going tail.

Less frequency of buses

There are lots of people who travel daily on Best Bus. Most of them have monthly DIAMOND pass which cost Rs 1000. But the service provided by BEST is not equal to the standard except the buses. The frequency is very low that people have to stand for 1 and half hour. The people generally depend more number of frequency in morning and evening due their office

Bad service of BEST Bus

Few buses of ticket collector have no knowledge how to behave with other. They behave like a illiterate person, they are not punctuality in their job. Irregular Bus service. The bus services are totally bad. Day by day the frequency of this bus is going down. Now days i have to wait for 1 hr or sometimes more for this bus. Many a times 4 buses comes in 5 minutes gap and then for 2 hrs no bus. The drivers sometimes didn�t even stop the buses at bus stops though not their fault coz no1 can enter the jam packed buses.
