Farewell to NON AC Double Decker of Mumbai
We, Busfans from Mumbai thought of hiring a Non AC Double Decker and ride it through the best parts of Mumbai just to give the Non AC Double Deckers a perfect farewell.

The bus which is seen above belongs to Dharavi (DH) depot of BEST bearing number 4037/DH - MH 01 LA 6496 and
thus our journey started from DH covering
Bandra, Bandra - Worli Sea link, Worli Sea Face,
Peddar Road, Girgaon Chowpatty, Marine Lines,
Churchgate, CST, Mohammad Ali Road,
Parel, Sion and then back to Dharavi Depot.
We took her to those places where Double deckers especially the
'NON - AC Double Decker' has never been through.
Chassis by Ashok Leyland and built by Antony, Navi Mumbai
still stands strong even after 15 years of service.

Hope you enjoyed it and yes, by the time this blog gets viral,
this Non AC 4037/DH Double decker would get scrapped and
left only in pictures.
This very bus served Mumbai (some parts) for a period of 15 years (2008 - 2023) and
it's time for them to rest forever.
A video of the whole journey will be uploaded soon and here is my YouTube channel link -
