The BEST bus service

best-bus.jpg I discovered recently that BEST, Mumbai's bus service has a website! And they have listed all bus routes and fares on the website, including a map of the routes. The website is a wealth of info, very unlike a government website. Don't forget to check the interesting history section and the electricity calculation chart. Here are some interesting tidbits I got from the website -

Bus Route No. 166 - plies on roads interconnecting maximum Hospitals.
Bus Route No. 161 - This route covers on the way maximum Oil Reservoirs and unpopulated areas in Eastern wings of the city.
Bus Route No. 9 - A network of large number of school and colleges is interwoven by this route.
Bus Route No. 320, 22ltd., 25ltd. - These routes have an outstanding feature of connecting two largest water reservoirs of the city.
Bus Route No. 1,66,202 - Round the clock operating bus routes.

Hi Nilesh, Namaskar, Appley article vachun bare vatley, Just wanted to know that how many seats are reserved for Ladies in BEST Buses in Mumbai? as per my knowledge its 6 seats distributed over 3 benches and also all the seats are now on the left side of the bus. I am in London now and forgot about this, but my collegues i UK want to know this. Do help me. Jai Maharashtra.... Yashwant Jagtap
Yashwant, I too think it is 6 seats in 3 rows on the left side of the bus. The first seat in the left is for the handicapped.

bus routes for mumbai
Very useful for residents as well as visitors. You can have a look at my blog abour BEST BUS also. Clik below to visit the site. http://best-bus-mumbai.blogspot.com/
BEST, the name itself is best. People from Hindustan Motors ,Hosur are maintaining the electrical and electronic services of BEST and they say BEST authorities are more concerned about the passenger safty - for example normally in all government buses the body of the bus is used as the neutral but in BEST neutral is separated from the body, so no harm to people having pacemakers.

Someone else below asked this already about antispam scripts. I am getting nailed with Spam on my website mails and in our blog website - now its offline too much spam. Is there anyway to stop this? If not, there really isn't any point in leaving it up and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
