Nearly two weeks after BEST offered to ferry passengers to hospitals, the undertaking has now converted seven of its mini-buses into basic ambulances for Wuhan Coronavirus patients, reports Rajendra Aklekar.
As reported by Mr Aklekar, BESTs workshops have built a completely air-tight partition between the rear section of the bus and the driver’s section. All seats have been removed and the rear emergency door is being used to access the bus.
From being the city’s lifeline, BEST is now the city’s life-saver. We hope to see more buses pressed into action to beat this pandemic in the days to come.
The Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai/Brihanmumbai Municipal Corproation (MCGM/BEST) put out an entire list of what the mini-buses are doing.
Buses are being used to transfer asympotamatics, and carry perishable items.
Also, on 14 April, Google put out a Doodle thanking Public Transportation Workers.
That’s all from me now. Say hello to Mumbai’s mini-ambulances.
