Unhone depot manager ko memorandum diya, jisme BEST ke 6000 buses khud ke hone, fare hike wapas lene, depot land ka monetisation band karne, aur BMC ke February 2024 ke Rs 9000 crore transfer ke faisle ko implement karne ki maang ki gayi.
Protestors ne kaha ki wet lease system ke wajah se bus breakdowns, accidents, aur fires badh gaye hain, kyunki private contractors maintenance mein cost-cutting karte hain. 2022-23 mein transport division ko Rs 2160 crore ka loss hua, par service quality mein koi sudhar nahi.
Long-distance routes cancel hue, buses kam hain, aur overcrowding se women aur students ke liye unsafe conditions hain. Hussain Indorwala, Aamchi Mumbai Aamchi BEST ke convenor, ne kaha, “BEST ko Metro ka feeder banane ki koshish galat hai; yeh Mumbai ka backbone hai.”
