Passengers will benefit from the usage of double-decker AC electric buses on city streets.

The government's goal is to have 10,000 electric buses in the city by 2020. We aim to bring as many double decker buses as possible. A 12-year deal for 900 AC electric double decker buses was approved by the BEST committee.

The Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) is planning to buy 900 electric double decker buses for Mumbai. This information was provided by Maharashtra Minister Aditya Thackeray. Thackeray stated that he would want to re-run Best's double decker buses. He stated that he personally wants Mumbai Chief Mininster (CM) Uddhav Thackeray to reintroduce double-decker buses.

According to Aditya Thackeray, the government's goal is to bring 10,000 electric buses to the city. We aim to bring as many double decker buses as possible. A 12-year deal for 900 AC electric double decker buses was approved by the BEST committee. If other municipalities in the city purchase electric buses, they are asked to incorporate double decker electric buses in their fleet. Municipalitie's capacity on congested roads will be increased as a result.

992 crores have been approved.

According to media sources, the project's entire cost would be approximately Rs 3600 crore. So far, the state government has approved Rs 992 crore for this purpose. These monies were made available through the Maharashtra Clean Air Project. Also also Lokeye, General Manager of BEST - Sh Chandra, stated that the first batch of 225 double decker buses might arrive this year. The second batch of 225 buses is slated to arrive in March of next year. Furthermore, the remaining 450 buses are scheduled to be delivered by June 2023.

Passengers will benefit.

Mumbai currently has 48 daily double decker buses. According to Chandra, the 900 new AC electric buses being purchased would be environmentally benign. These buses will be on the road for at least the next decade. This will not only expand our fleet, but it will also enhance our rides and alleviate congestion during office hours.
