Last week, @myBESTBus introduced second air conditioned double decker electric bus in passenger service in South Mumbai. @switchEVglobal registerd the bus at Vashi RTO & it's plying on route no 138 and Heritage tours in South #Mumbai.
Passengers were hoping that @myBESTBus & @switchEVglobal will remove flaws in the bus, but sadly most issues are not rectified. Most serious issue is no leg space between the front staircase and seats, but the issue persists in 2nd bus as well.

From Tuesday, @myBESTBus introduced the first AC double decker e-bus in public service, but the bus manufactured by @SwitchMobility has some serious issues related to passengers' safety and comfort, which should have been addressed before launching it.
Most serious issue is "common" space for the passenger using the front side staircase and the seat next to it. To make the things worse, a grab given from the last staircase, which hit the passengers leg while alighting down.
