BEST Plans Higher Penalties For Wet-Lease Operators Over Defective Buses After Brake Fault Incident
BEST Undertaking plans to increase penalties on wet-lease operators for running buses with technical defects amid safety concerns. Officials said the current ₹3,000 penalty limit may not be enough to prevent operators from prioritising daily kilometre targets. The move follows concerns after a September 21 accident involving a wet-leased BEST bus with a reported brake issue.
