Mumbai’s BEST Bus Fare Journey – From ₹4 to ₹10!

🚌 Mumbai’s BEST Bus Fare Journey – From ₹4 to ₹10! 📈
Mumbai’s iconic red BEST buses have carried the city for decades — but how much has your fare changed? 👀
🔺 Fare: ₹4 in 2005 → ₹10 in 2025
📏 Distance: Covered more, charged more — and now less for more!
🚨 Why the sudden hike?
With over ₹700 Cr in losses and a massive fleet expansion plan (from 2,186 to 3,000+ buses), BEST needed a boost — and commuters are footing the bill. Still, subsidies for students, seniors & disabled remain intact.
💡 Did you know?
Mumbai’s BEST is the 2nd largest public transit system, with a daily ridership of 31 lakh+!
🍔 Then vs Now: ₹10 could buy Vada Pav + Chai in 2005. In 2025? Just one ☕
