The Birhanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) runs 3380 red buses in Mumbai. This year it planned to add 550 more that run on Compressed Natural Gas, instead of diesel, but the BEST management had a disagreement with its CNG supplier and now no one knows when that will happen. Also, the potential cost savings on CNG-run buses have gone down since the price of diesel (the main alternative fuel) has fallen.
