“After the initial success of BEST BRTS AC buses in Mumbai, MSRTC has taken a long awaiting move and has started first of its kind Hi-Tech point to point Air conditioned bus service which will only run between Borivali and BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex) as one now.

One of the best moves taken by Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) aiming to reduce the car traffic on congested roads between Borivali and BKC.

By August Monthly pass facilities are expected to start which will be charged Rs.5400 Per month, which comes to daily Rs.180 for two way travel compared to Rs.140 one way (Monthly Pass Price May Change).
