Having fully electric bus in Mumbai B.E.S.T. fleet, Be a game changer ?

Having fully electric bus  in Mumbai B.E.S.T. fleet, Be a game changer ?


B.E.S.T, HAS INTRODUCE FULLY ELECTRIC BUS IN IT'S 2 ROUTE'S TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WILL BRING PROFIT TO THEM ?,BUT  BIG QUESTION IS WILL THEY BE A GAME CHANGER ?,HOW WILL THEY HELP MUMBAI B.E.S.T. TO MAKE PROFIT ?,AND COME WITH A SLOGAN, "TRAVEL WITH B.E.S.T. AND HELP MAKE OUR CITY CLEAN & TRAFFIC CONGESTION FREE "


If you see the conditions of mumbai and it's surrounding cities you will see existing public transportation and infra is failing, 


to make it better and provide best infra of international standard's !,then public transport authority need to take good and fast decision which will help the city and the transport agency.



Fully electric bus can play a vital and important role to make it better,as you may know that like other cities in Europe,USA,JAPAN etc... have fully EV in their cities which is being used for their own transportation,while in mumbai or in whole "India",you won't see the number as high or even as equally low as other nation due to various reasons, which is very bad and equally sad :(  ,to see and know about it.



The expert in india has told the govt that even,if they focus on bringing EV for pvt use, then also it won't benefit the city or the nation, as infra would be needed to cope up with growing vehicle number rise in future.So what is the solution ?,the (expert) has told the govt, that if they (govt) run more AC bus in the city that would help the traffic congestion and it may see the reduction as in Singapore.


During the time when mumbai population was increasing,the B.E.S.T. has played a vital role,just like the suburban railway.

Still today the B.E.S.T. is seen as the 2nd most favourable option to travel in mumbai after the suburban railway !,but due to increase in the number of vehicle and somewhere down the line, bad management and decision,also no coordination with other city transport operating in mumbai has made the condition worse for them,

which means people and the city will suffer.

B.E.S.T. has purchased fully EV bus to bring some profit,but i personally believe they're still doing the mistake,as their intention to introduce them is just to have alternative source, other then fuel,they are running hybrid bus also,so they can make profit,

but once this technology get advance as it is happening, B.E.S.T. will suffer again.


To come out of the crisis not just B.E.S.T. but the State Govt of MAHARASHTRA has to intervene,so  fully EV can be a game changer and be used as business idea of how to make it a profitable.All public bus transportation (N.M.M.T.,T.M.T.,M.B.M.T.) has to coordinate and work together !,instead of running on a formula, to exceed by cutting each other profit in business,this will, out run the weak but the stronger firm will also not be in business for too long.


B.E.S.T. should run, non AC fully Ev on those route where AC bus which are unable to operate

                            

,where else fully AC bus should be running with a fare of LTD bus on LTD and non LTD route, where no pass will apply or half ticket will be given, instead of  charging higher fare's,if this fares are apply it will be a profitable, as this will encourage middle class or lower middle class to travel in this bus.

,if B.E.S.T. does this! then they can run this bus on those routes where they have being running AC and NON AC bus for same routes for different class,


running such bus will surely help them to make profit,as they will run single feature bus AC or non AC, also having coordination with other city transportation such as N.M.M.T.,T.M.T.,M.B.M.T.,will not make them run more number of buses in those routes which are also being operated by them.

If public transport is run and operated by good plan and policy,then people in india would not require to use their pvt vehicle on road, which cause traffic congestion 


and govt need to spend more on such infra, as flyover,expressway to reduce the congestion.


B.E.S.T. can and will make profit, if they work jointly with the city expert,N.G.O.,public transport of other city and their own member's such as driver ,conductor,ticket checker as they are the most important vital source who are on the road


AND VERY SOON PEOPLE IN SUCH CITY ,PEOPLE WILL SEE LESS NUMBER OF TRAFFIC AND B.E.S.T. WILL AGAIN TURN OUT TO BE A PROFITABLE, PUBLIC TRANSPORT FIRM ! :)
