[Resolved]  B. E. S. T. Undertaking — BEST BUS from SEEPZ to Mulund

There should be lot more buses from seepz to kanjurmarg, As a lot of people board from kanjur( similar to seepz-andheri)
-going from mulund-andheri takes a long time. seepz-kanjur being short-distance, will reduce the load and also the buses can be more frequent.
-this will reduce load on existing buses 496, and othere which ar emeant for thane folks.

I do agree with preeti statement, This is special request to BEST to take necessary action for the same.

(((Seepz has large number of travellers who travel daily to Mulund, thane.If the bus is started from seepz then it would mean lot of c rowd being diverted to those buses and hence crowd will be reduced on those staring from andheri Stn and Marol.)))...

Please help

Dear Sir,

The number of office goers travelling from Thane to Andheri is inundated. There should be more Buses
from Thane to Andheri. The AS-4 A/C buses should start from Cadbury Junction. Presently these
buses are starting from Modell Bus Depot which creates lot of problems for Thane passengers, as
they have to travel by an Auto upto Check Naka and then walk upto Modella Depot. There is lot
of harassment by Auto drivers apartn from the traffic nuisance en-route.
BEST should therefore, extend the AS-4 buses upto CADBURY NAKA which will facilitate
many commuters who presently being put into lot of harassment by transiting at Check Naka.

Dear Sir,
I regret to note that there is neither any acknowledgement nor any action from your end inspite of a lapse of two weeks time. I would like to bring to your notice once again that the senior citizens and handicapped commuters are having a very difficult time transiting through the toll naka at Mulund due to the harassment from Auto drivers and heavy traffic. You are therefore, once again requested to consider extending the A/C Bus routes AS-422 and AS461 upto Cadbury Junction.
Awaiting your prompt action in the matter.

WITH THE COMMECEMENT OF METRO RAIL BEST BUS PASSENGERS ARE GOING TO REDUCE AND BEST WILL HAVE TO LOOK OUT THE NEW PROFITABLE ROUTES. BELOW CAN BE ONE OF THE BEST PROFIT MAKING ROUTE WHICH WILL DEFINITELY RECEIVE OVERWHELMING RESPONSE FROM COMMUTERS BETWEEN ANDHERI & THANE.


FURTHER TO THE REQUESTS MADE FOR BUS FROM SEEPZ TO MULUND / THANE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT IF BEST CAN START A BUS FROM MAROL DEPOT TO THANE VIA EASTERN EXPRESS HIGHWAY IT WILL BE MORE ECONOMICAL FOR BEST AS FIRSTLY IT WILL BE SUPER FAST SERVICE VIA HIGHWAY, IT WILL REDUCE THE PRESSURE ON THE BUSSES PLYING ON LBS ROAD, BUS WILL NOT BE HELD UP IN LBS TRAFFIC.

ALSO PASSENGERS OF KANJURMARG, BHANDUP, MULUND WILL GET PLACE TO SIT IN BUS, AS THANE PASSENGERS ALSO PASSENGERS FROM MULUND MHADA COLONY AREA WILL PREFER BUS PLYING ON HIGHWAY
AS SUPER FAST SERVICE.

ALSO BUS WILL GET PASSENGERS AT CHECK NAKA WHERE NOW TO GET AN AUTO IS VERY DIFFICULT. AS BUSES ARE PLYING ON HIGHWAY BEST CAN ACHIEVE GOOD TURN AROUND TIME AVOIDING HEAVY TRAFFIC AT LBS.

THANE DESTINATION CAN BE EITHER RUTU PARK OR BRAHMAND ETC INNER PART OF THANE AS PRESENTLY MANY PRIVATE BUSES ARE PLYING ON THIS ROUTE RUNNING WITH FULL PASSENGERS ON BOARD. EVEN MAHARASHTRA STATE TRANSPORT IN RUNNING FEW BUSES ON THIS ROUTE ON PUBLIC DEMAND WHICH ARE RUNNING OVERCROWDED.

Sir,

Would like to bring to you kind attention the poor managment on the part of those employed at the Marol Maroshi Bus depot(Andheri East).I had to take the Bus number 35.Now this bus has certain timings in the morning which are 8.00am, 8.26am, 8.45am and 9.00am. Since most of the working crowd prefer to take the bus according to their timing, they come accordingly, expecting the bus to start atleast on time from the start of origin(first stop)which never happens. Today all at the bus stop of bus number 35 were very annoyed, cause we could see a 35 number bus parked but we had to wait endlessly for over 45min. cause that was timed to leave at 9.00am and the one that was to come at 8.40 didnt make it on time. My question is why couldnt these people not release the bus that was parked ? why did we as passangers have to stand ther at the buss stop till 9.00am cuz the bus had to leave at that time?Its rediculous. I think they need to learn to manage more effeciently.Most of the people were tired of standing at the bus stop n prefered to take a rickshaw instead. So ultimately its ur business and that of the govt that goes on a loss for this kind off managment. Also as a suggestion, you should make it mandatory for the conductor to stand with the crowd at the start first stop, so that the passengers are aware of the bus timings .

Congratulations to BEST for starting a new service from Brahmand, Thane to Seepz w.e.f. 01-Feb-2010.

There is a high demand for a BEST bus service from Brahmand to Ghatkopar via Eastern Express Highway.

If one has to reach from Ghatkopar to Brahmand, it will take roughly two hours by local train from Ghatkopar to Thane and by TMT bus from Thane Station to Brahmand. Needless to mention the packed crowd as well as long waiting for the TMT bus.

By starting this new service, a person can reach in less than one hour from Ghatkopar to Brahmand.

Shibu Nair.

there is a new bus route that is starting from 01 feb 09 from bramhand, thane to seepz.

Now the bus service from Bramhand Thane to SEEPZ is started... BUT BEST site is also not updated with it...

where to Look for its timings & route...why BEST do the things this way..
they do the things half way... never give full info abt the things...

Now here... they have done every thing except proper info is not given...so every thing goes to waste..

Starting a new bus route from Brahmand, Thane to Seepz was a good move by the BEST. As I am a daily commuter, I was looking forward to board the bus. But, to my disappointment, I could not find the timings of the bus service or the route details on the BEST web site. This has weakened the benefit of starting a new bus route. It would be very helpful if the route and timings are known.

Hope the officials will host the details in the website as soon as possible.

best should extend bus no 445 ltd to lokmanya nagar, thane
as their is a great demand of passengers to andheri from lokmanya nagar, thane
as most of the times this bus goes empty
the new route can be as follow
Lokmanya Nagar, Thane - Wagle Estate - Maharana pratap chowk - esi hospital - bhandup sonapur - nahur railway station - bhandup gaon - bhandup [east] - tagore nagar junction - gandhi nagar - seepz - marol depot - chakala - andheri station [w] / oshiwara depot

Is posting any complaint or suggetion on this forum is helpfull?? Is really taken under consideration by any officials of any goverment driven body??

Thanks & Regards,

Bipin Varankar

I stay at Kalyan and work at Goregoan Nirlon park.Yesterday and day before yesterday I and two of my collages tried to catch bus no 448 from Vari Bus stop near Madha Colony which was supposed to be there at around 10:20 PM and it is the last bus. On 19/10/2010 IE day before yesterday we waited from 10:10PM to 11:20PM but the bus did not arrive.

On 20/10/2010 we were at the bus stop at 10:00 PM and the bus no 448 licence no MH 01 LA 5898 arrived at 10:09 but at incredible speed as over speeding is natural on the highway. The bus slowed down but did not stop we ran after it, two of my collages barely caught upto it one of them almost falling off. And then the bus started of speed away at top speed.When my collages pleaded with the conductor to stop the bus, he callously replied the "If your friend cannot run fast enough what can I do.". Are even supposed to catch buses running? Aren't bus stops built for a specific purpose IE to stop buses

My question is that even after there was a bus stop and passengers too then why did the bus driver or the conductor didn't not even bother to stop even though it was the last bus, does the BEST think that we passengers should be treated in this manner.

If you can please look into this matter.

Abhijit Das

A lot of comments have been made by various commuters about commence of a direct A/c Bus service from Thane to Andheri. I have also written many letters to the GM BEST. Howver there seems to be no action from any authorities. BEST's suggestion to change over at Mulund is not feasible for all commuters more particularly senior citizens, children and handicapped persons. Our request is to commence a New A/C bus service from Cadbury Junction to Andheri or extend the present AS-422 to Cabdury Junction. Your prompt cooperation is awaited. best rgds k.v.chandran

DEAR SIR,

Please arrange the Buses for evening 5.30 to 6.00 pm Marol Dept to Mulund, vashi, vaishali nagar, airoli, Mangatharam there is no bus in above mention time. Please do the needful with immediate action.

The GM BEST is either incompetent or he does not want to listen to the complaints to general public. what else we can say about these complaints which are more than one year old and not resolved by the GM BEST. I have been writing to the GM and also posting my comments in this column for the last one year about a direct A/C Bus service from Thane to Andheri, There is no action from the GM. There are hundreds of commuters travelling from Thane to Andheri including senior citizens, handicapped and children. Does the GM believe in a bifurcated City
like other petty politicians ? or he wants to run the BEST bus for the benefit of the general public.?
