Mumbai: In view of the BMC elections, now Mumbaikars are going to get the best service 24×7 hours. This announcement is being considered as a big step towards the night life of Mumbai. In Mumbai, which is awake round the clock, now the same type of transport service is going to be available. Environment Minister Aditya Thackeray gave this information by tweeting. This decision may benefit Shiv Sena in BMC elections.
Night life in Mumbai was also conceptualized by Aaditya Thackeray. He tweeted that Mumbai is a 24-hour city. Therefore, the facility of transportation here will also be available 24 hours a day. Mumbaikars who work till late night needed the facility of safe and cheap transport, which is being started through BEST bus service.
Mumbaikars will get relief
BEST is the second service in Mumbai after the cheap local train, which has a minimum fare of Rs.6. Metro is currently running on only one route in Mumbai. Due to the closure of the local train during the night, people have to spend the night on the platform itself. Whereas after 1 pm, BEST buses run on some routes only at an interval of two hours. Taxi service is always available for night travel but its fare also becomes very expensive at night. Thackeray’s decision to make Mumbai a world class city can be a relief to Mumbaikars who work at night.
