Mumbai, 21 October 2010:  Commuters in Mumbai can now ride on a Mercedes Benz bus on the regular BEST ticket for a month on a trial basis.

 

 

The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) on Wednesday launched the swanky AC Mercedes Benz BEST bus to ply on city roads. The fares would be similar to the existing AC buses.

 

"We want to provide Merc luxury at the cost of the existing AC bus ticket. It is like a free ride offered to a buyer by the car company so that the commuter can get a feel of it," BEST General Manager, O P Gupta said.

 

The manufacturer had shown interest in entering the Indian market and to offer more choices to the commuters, Gupta said.

 

Meanwhile, the BEST, today said, commuters can call on toll free number 1800227550 to register their complaints. "The advertisements about toll free number will be displayed on BEST buses," Gupta said.
