The first double-decker bus was introduced on Mumbai roads in 1937, a decade after BEST launched its bus service in the growing city. Till the mid-1990s, BEST had around 900 double-decker buses in its fleet. The number began to decrease and around 125 buses were left in 2010. By 2019, it had dwindled to 50.
The first double decker EV was rolled out on the roads of Mumbai (erstwhile, Bombay) in February 2023.
Unfortunately, the last diesel run double decker bus left Marol depot at 11 am on Friday, 2023-09-15.
