Mumbai’s braveheart MUTP bus, that had become the face of Mumbai’s public transport, retired on Saturday with a farewell and tears. They were named MUTP because they were procured with a World Bank loan in 2005 under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project-2, and the 644 buses had made an entry along with the purple local trains, which were introduced for the first time under the same project.

BEST employees cut cake for the bus on its last ride to Mulund
