Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and 
Transpor t (BEST) – Histor y 
• World’s largest civic transport and electricity provider public 
body. 
• Originally set up in 1873 as a tramway company: Bombay 
Electric Supply & Tramways Company. 
• November 1905 - BEST set up a captive Thermal power station at 
Wadi bunder, Mumbai to generate electricity for its trams that 
positioned it to also supply electricity to the city of Mumbai. 
• Since 1926, the BEST has been an operator of motor buses. 
• In 1947, a week prior to India’s independence, the BEST 
became an undertaking of the Bombay Municipal 
Corporation.
Introduction of BEST 
• It now operates as an autonomous body 
under the Municipal Corporation. 
• The bus transport service covers the entire 
city of Mumbai 
• Also extends its operations outside city 
limits into neighbouring Navi Mumbai, 
Thane and Mira-Bhayandar. 
• In addition to buses, it also operates a ferry 
service in the northern reaches of the city. 
• The electricity division of the organisation is 
also one of the few electricity departments 
in India to garner an annual gross profit.
Introduction - BEST 
• 15 July 1926 - First bus ran between Afghan 
Church and Crawford Market. 
• For several years, it was looked upon as transport for 
the upper middle class. 
• Those were the days when the tram was the poor 
man's transport; it carried one all the way from 
Sassoon Dock to Dadar. The bus fare for the same 
journey was 25 paise. 
• In response to the pleas made by the Government and 
the Bombay Municipal Corporation, the company 
extended its services to the northern part of the city 
in 1934.
Introduction - BEST 
Double decker buses were introduced in 1937 in order to 
cope better with the growing traffic. The first limited bus 
service in Bombay, and probably the first in the country as 
well, started running in 1940 between Colaba and Mahim.

Interesting Facts & 
Future Plans
Interesting Facts 
• Some interesting facts of present-day BEST buses: 
• BEST has introduced A/C Kinglong services on certain routes. 
• From 19 November 2004, route SPL-8 travelling from Churchgate to World Trade Centre 
has started accepting cashless smart cards for automatic fare collection in BEST buses. 
• BEST currently has over 1500 environmentally friendly Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) 
buses on its fleet and plans to increase the number of buses. 
• Due to the 9/11 bombings, BEST has installed an audio-visual surveillance system 
(CCTV) on each of its buses to monitor suspicious behaviour on board its vehicles. 
• Almost all buses have two LCD TVs per bus. BEST buses are well maintained buses. 
• Air conditioned buses are very popular with office goers. The A/C bus "AS-4" from 
Oshiwara Depot to Backbay Depot, is the route with the highest revenue for BEST. The 
"AS-4" is most popular bus with morning office goers, as it covers a distance of about 30 
km from Andheri to Mantralaya in only one and half hours.
Future Plans 
• Among its future plans is the "digitisation project", wherein 
all underground cables, sub-stations, street lights and bus-stops 
would be tracked digitally through the geographical 
information system. It also plans to connect all its electricity 
meters through a network, so that the readings can be taken 
remotely, and in realtime, thus obviating the need for 
monthly manual door-to-door inspection.
THANK YOU

Transport. It reduces
