Mumbai Buses Reroute After Key Bridge Reopens
29 Oct
Summary
- BEST bus services resumed on multiple routes after Sion Railway Overbridge reopened.
- Commuters between city and suburbs will experience improved travel times and connectivity.
- New AC bus route A-463 now offers a circular service connecting Dadar and Rani Laxmibai Chowk.
Following the recent reopening of the Sion Railway Overbridge (ROB) for all types of vehicles, the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking has restored bus services on several major routes. This action is expected to alleviate travel difficulties for commuters journeying between Mumbai city and its suburbs.
The reopened bridge facilitates normal connectivity between the Eastern Express Highway, LBS Marg, and western suburbs. As a result, BEST has resumed operations on significant routes such as A-7, 11 Ltd., A-22, and others. These services will now operate through Rani Laxmibai Chowk and Sant Rohidas Marg, enhancing travel efficiency.
Several route modifications have also been implemented to optimize passenger movement. Buses heading towards Kalanagar and Mahim will now use Pivala Bangla. Furthermore, two air-conditioned routes have been updated. Route A-176 now bypasses certain markets, while A-463 has been transformed into an 11.4-km circular service connecting Plaza in Dadar with Rani Laxmibai Chowk.
