Mumbai: BEST start AC bus services between Bandra Railway Station-Bandra Colony Metro Station

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) and BEST are trying their best to provide bus services for the passengers traveling between Aarey-BKC, the first phase of the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro 3 route. Accordingly, after providing BEST stops at JVLR Metro Station, the BEST has now started air-conditioned bus service between Bandra East Railway Station and Bandra Colony Metro Stations. The bus service of bus number A-314 has started from Tuesday and will be beneficial for the passengers.

Two months have been completed since the start of Aarey-BKC underground metro service. But it has been observed that the metro is not getting good response from the passengers. Due to the lack of best bus service to reach the metro stations or to go from the metro stations to the desired destination, the passengers have to face inconvenience. Passengers cannot afford to take the expensive option of rickshaw-taxi and travel further by metro. Therefore, passengers are turning their backs to the underground Metro. 

Keeping this in mind, the MMRC has started efforts to start BEST services or provide BEST bus stops outside metro stations. For this, the BEST administration is following up and this pursuit is getting success. A few days ago, BEST arranged the bus services including BEST Bus No. 307, 425, 428, 416, 522 outside the JVLR Metro station. Now from Tuesday, December 17, air-conditioned bus service has been started between Bandra East Railway Station and Bandra Colony Metro Station.

Best Bus No. A-314 air-conditioned bus from Aanik Agar will ply seven days a week from 7.30 am to 8 pm. This bus will be an air-conditioned midi type bus and will serve Bandra East Railway Station, Anant Kanekar Marg, Bhaskar Court, Sir Aliawar Jung Highway, Kalanagar, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan Marg, Bharat Nagar Junction, Indian Oil, BKC Connector Junction, Swavalamban Bhavan, Jio Gardner, Mumbai Cricket Association, CA Institute, Kautilya Bhavan, Diamond Market, Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, Hindustan Petroleum Adhikari Colony, Valmiki Nagar, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Nagar and Bandra Colony Metro Station.
