MUMBAI: The recent BEST bus accident at Kurla, in which eight people were killed, has put the spotlight on mishaps involving the transport authority. Data from 2014-15 to 2023-24 accessed by HT showed that in the last 10 years, 173 people have died in 1,970 accidents involving BEST buses. However, there is a year-on-year dip in the total number of accidents, fatalities and number of injured.
The BEST data shows that the least number of accidents (54 with 10 fatalities) was recorded in 2023-24. Sources said the scenario was positive between April and November this year, with 35 accidents and four deaths. However, December turned out to be cruel.
