In addition to buses, it also operates a ferry service in the northern reaches of the city..

The BEST also operates bus rapid transit service - Mumbai BRTS. Mumbai BRTS is a massive Bus Rapid Transit System taken up by the MCGM, B.E.S.T Undertaking, and Government of Maharashtra. The Mumbai BRTS began operation in 2008.

The present BEST undertaking was started as a Electric supply company which they then branched out to provide Bus and Tram services. In 1964 Electric tram where terminated due to due to high operational costs and poor public support.

An accident forces Franklin to maneuver the tour group's bus around a big truck on a particularly narrow road, but there isn't enough road for the bus to squeeze through. Problem? No says Franklin.

0.42 min. | 4.45 user rating		 Certainly not the 1st time (& won't b the last) that such behaviour encountered @ Bombay/Mumbai's public bus transportation (locally called "BEST") -- suffice to say that it's part of the sub-culture (not only do they tend to b 'loud-talkers', but will create a *huge* scene if necessary - think, perfect volunteers to help start a riot). anyway, this passenger & the bus-conductor were literally breaking into a fist-fight as we boarded the bus -- i yelled rather loudly, but they barely flinched (& i do have a rather loud yell) ! Both the buggerz took turns yanking that conductor-chord (the tool used by the conductor to signal the driver), & the bus even stopped infront of a local police-station, but i think that's when the passenger panicked & gave in to the conductor's 'demands' {L0L} PS: captured w/ Palm-Zire72 ;^)

Mr. Bean visits a rare book library, where he reads a rare tome that must be handled with gloves. Soon after he uses a pencil and a crayon to copy a page of the book by shading on a piece of tracing paper, he sneezes, and the tracing paper slips away... Welcome to the Official Mr Bean channel. The first episode of the original Mr Bean series starring Rowan Atkinson was first broadcast on 1st January 1990. Since then Mr Bean has become known all over the world.
