BEST is not the best bus in the world or in India as the name suggests. Their drivers and conductors sometimes are rowdy and use filthy languages even against women. Bus drivers never halt their buses at the actual bus stops, in spite of them being empty at times. Most drivers also never leave their buses in time from the starting point. Sometimes, one has to wait for more than an hour to board a bus. And when they do arrive, they are crowded. This is the reason why most people prefer to travel by the metro or rely on share-a-cab or auto services. Some bus conductors also never return the change inspite of having it with them. The BEST fares have also increased tremendously making it difficult for the common man to travel by it.
