Introduced way back in 1926 the red double-decker and single buses are operated by Bombay Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) and cover the entire length and breadth of the city. Maneuvering through Mumbai's narrow and congested roads they are today one of the most vital lifelines of the city. Minimum fare payable is Rs.2/- and the maximum is Rs.12/50. With a fleet of 3600, and about 5 million people using it daily, operating on over 400 routes covering 6 lakh kilometers the BEST is the largest municipalized transport system in India.
