Over three months after a BEST bus rammed into a bus stop signage outside August Kranti Maidan at Grant Road, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is yet to reinstall it. The bus stop, located on the traffic island opposite the maidan’s main gate, also houses the 19th-century statue of Nusserwanji Maneckji Petit.

Without the signage, residents of Gowalia Tank say there is no way for commuters to know that buses headed towards Mantralaya, Colaba, and Byculla halt here.  “Only regulars who already know about this stop are able to board. New commuters have no clue,” said a local resident.
