BEST Earnings Go Up by a Crore Daily; Ridership Drops to 25 Lakh
Mumbai: The BEST announced on Monday that with a hike in BEST bus fares since May 9, the daily ticket earnings rose by a crore rupees—from Rs 2.25 crore to Rs 3.25 crore—but the ridership dropped to 25 lakh. In fact, the ridership fell drastically from 32 lakh prior to the fare hike in May to 25 lakh in August, sources said. Apart from ridership, the fleet of buses also dipped significantly, and this has gone below the pre-Covid level—from 3,500 buses in 2019 to 2,680 buses at present. Volunteers from the citizens' group Aamchi Mumbai Aamchi BEST said that the migration of bus commuters to share autos and share taxis was a primary cause of the drop in ridership over the past three months. The minimum bus fare was hiked from Rs 5 to Rs 10, while the minimum AC fare was increased from Rs 6 to Rs 12 in May. In comparison, the minimum share auto fare is Rs 10. "Several commuters, frustrated after waiting for buses for 40 minutes, do not mind switching to share autos at the same price from the railway station," said an AMAB volunteer. Similarly, the delay in the delivery of new electric AC buses on wet lease led to a drop in fleet size. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Victoria Principal Is Almost 75, See Her Now Reportingly Undo A transport analyst said: "The BEST signed two contracts totalling the procurement of 4,500 e-AC buses from a contractor and 250 from another contractor. Around 700 buses have been delivered, and the remaining are yet to arrive in the fleet. At the same time, it is phasing out old buses owned by the undertaking." The buses are being phased out as they have completed the lifespan of 15 years. This BEST-owned fleet dipped from 3,337 buses in 2019 to 419 at present.

Volunteers of AMAB protested outside 22 bus depots on BEST's Foundation Day last week to demand a reduction in bus fares. "The staff, including drivers, should also improve their behaviour. I travel frequently, and I have noticed that the staff is rude. Drivers often brake suddenly, drive rashly, and jump signals. When we speak to them, they are abusive. This was totally unheard of in the past. In the past, they used to fear the public and apologise," Vora said. BEST's present fleet comprises 419 undertaking-owned buses and 2,269 buses on wet lease. The buses cover an average 160 km run per day, with the turnout being 85% to 90%. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Government e Marketplace records ₹5.4 trillion in gross merchandise value in FY25
New Delhi: The Government e Marketplace (GeM) marked its ninth Foundation Day this month with a record ₹ 5.4 trillion in gross merchandise value (GMV) in FY25, cementing its position as India's flagship public procurement platform, the commerce ministry said on Friday. GeM crossed ₹ 4 trillion in GMV in FY24. Since its launch, GeM has onboarded 150,000 women-led enterprises along with startups, self-help groups (SHGs), artisans and micro and small enterprises (MSEs), the ministry said. Started in 2016 to drive transparent, efficient and inclusive procurement, GeM has become a digital bridge linking women entrepreneurs, startups, MSEs, artisans, self-help groups and persons with disabilities with government buyers across the country. GeM has introduced technology-driven processes for faster, more cost-effective transactions, expanded into new service verticals such as insurance, manpower and mine development & operations, and provided training and onboarding support to state governments, public sector undertakings and local bodies, it added. 'These reforms demonstrate our intent to make GeM even more inclusive and accessible,' said Mihir Kumar, chief executive officer of GeM. 'Our focus remains on ensuring every enterprise, from tribal artisans to tech-driven startups, can easily access public procurement opportunities." GeM offers sellers direct access to all government departments, creating a single platform for marketing and bidding with minimal effort. Sellers benefit from dynamic pricing linked to market conditions, freedom from rigid product specifications, and assured, time-bound payments, with interest provisions for delays, alongside a dashboard to track sales, supplies and receivables. For buyers, GeM ensures transparency by eliminating the human interface in procurement, while offering an intuitive dashboard to search, compare and purchase goods and services, monitor deliveries, and track payments. Features such as direct purchase options for smaller orders, bidding and reverse auction tools for larger contracts, online grievance redressal and integration with payment systems make the process faster, fairer and fully digital.
