The Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking has been frequently diverting buses for minor reasons such as pedestrian crowding, digging, roadworks, concretisation, pipeline work, political rallies, and metro construction. On Thursday, it diverted a bus route in Bhandup due to roadwork, stating, "Due to road work by BMC at Bhandup village road, Route No. 307 diverted via LBS Marg in down direction from 2.45 pm."

On Wednesday, bus service on Route A-118 was curtailed at Kabutar Khana, Dadar, from 4.10 pm because of a heavy pedestrian crowd on M C Jawale Marg. Last Saturday, several key bus routes were diverted outside the busy Dadar East station due to "VIP movement" following the controversy over the demolition of a Hanuman temple.
