BEST Double-Decker Bus Collides with Taxi at Colaba Depot Entry in Late-Night Crash
A BEST AC double-decker bus collided with a taxi while entering the Colaba depot late at night, causing extensive damage to the cab though no injuries were reported. The incident highlights alleged rash driving practices during nighttime depot entry and recurring safety concerns within Mumbai’s public transport operations.
According to sources, the incident occurred during late-night hours when multiple buses entering the Colaba depot are reportedly driven at high speed. This pattern, sources claimed, has frequently led to near-miss situations and recurring minor collisions in the area, raising concerns over operational safety during nighttime depot entry procedures.
Immediately after the crash, the taxi was left severely damaged and rendered immobile, requiring individuals present at the scene to physically push the vehicle aside to clear the entry route. Eyewitness accounts further indicated that BEST employees present at the location were seen engaging in heated arguments with the taxi driver, with allegations of intimidation directed toward the cab operator following the collision.
The incident has once again drawn attention to safety discipline during bus movement within depot premises, particularly during late-night operations when traffic coordination is critical.
The matter underscores persistent concerns regarding driving conduct within transport depot zones and the need for stricter adherence to safety protocols to prevent repeated incidents of this nature.
