Unions have launched a people's movement called 'BEST Bachao' in an effort to pressure the BMC and the state government to 'revive' the 'ailing' public utility.
The first meeting between the unions and the people is scheduled to be held at Goregaon today (July 18).
"There seems to be no initiative from the authorities to revive the ailing municipal transport service for the past seven-eight years," BEST Union leader Shashank Rao, who is spearheading the agitation, told The Free Press Journal on Wednesday.
"Fed up with this attitude, we have decided to go to the people, create awareness about the state of affairs and, with their support, go to the government to resolve the issue," he said.
