Mumbai brings back its iconic double-decker buses—this time as EVs

Mumbai’s iconic double-decker buses will return to the city’s roads. Maharashtra’s environment minister Aaditya Thackeray announced yesterday (Jan. 27) that Mumbai’s iconic double-decker buses will go electric and the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) will soon procure at least 900 buses for the city. CM Uddhav Thackeray and I have been personally keen on reviving Mumbai’s iconic double-decker buses.
