TVS Apache RTR 310 long term review
Efficiency this month: 26kmpl
You've got Rs 3 lakh in the bank, you've got an appetite for riding sharp motorcycles that look edgy and in your face. You're preferred style of choice is street naked, and oranges aren't exactly your favourite fruit. What are your options? The BMW G 310 R isn't with us anymore, and the Triumph Speed 400 design can be viewed as bland to most radicals out there. This could be a case of narrowing it down, but my point with this is that the Apache RTR 310 is the only real rival to the KTM 390 Duke, and that is no small feat. I actually prefer the Apache over the KTM simply because it's a brand that I've trusted for a long time, and colour options on the 390 Duke aren't exactly extensive. But, before being carried away further with my personal choices, it's time to bid farewell to the Apache RTR 310. Trellis frame finished in white, along with that 312cc motor, are the Apache's strongest points.
It's a motorcycle that I've come to adore over its tenure. At first, I wasn't too sure about its design language or its credentials on paper. As I began to spend time with this feisty yellow with a busy bee of a motor, it surprised me with its ride quality and extensive feature list. It also impressed me with its ample power on tap and handling. It strikes a balance that Iquite enjoyed, and even my father, who is 65 years old, didn't find it too overbearing. The Apache's tenure was an education, not only the understanding of the motorcycle, but of TVS' commitment to makingengaging motorcycles as a whole. Headlamp design is eye-catching.

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).
