BEST Bus@100

I got to know this bus from the movie, this bus stop when I lived in Mumbai from 1983-87.

I used BEST buses quite extensively during my stay there.

When I first went to Opera House c1980, I thought I had gone abroad. Buses looked better than the shops in Miraj-Sangli where I had lived most of my life.

After that I ended up admiring so many things of Mumbai, foremost among them was their world class bus service.

Still from 'Chhoti Si Baat', 1976
