context_page_description: Public transport in Mumbai involves the transport of millions of its citizens by train, road, and water. As of 2015, 52% of commuters use public transport. Mumbai has the largest organized bus transport network among major Indian cities.
  Mumbai's public transport consists primarily of rapid transit on exclusive suburban railway lines augmented by commuter rail on main lines serving outlying suburbs, the bus services of the three municipalities making up the metropolitan area, public taxis and auto rickshaws, as well as ferry services. A metro and a monorail system were inaugurated in 2014. A commercial seaplane service was also introduced in 2014.
context_section_description: Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) has a fleet of single and double decker buses. Air-conditioned Kinglong buses were supposed to be ordered to modernize the fleet, but Cerita buses from Punjab were quietly bought instead. These frequently break down and hold up traffic due to their poor quality of engineering. Senior leadership of the BEST has refused to comment on the issue.
