The B.E.S.T. Museum is one great experience I have had this week. This place hosts amazing details about Bombay's transport and electric supply. There are small models of buses and trams. Old tickets, ticket machines, lamp shades used in the past and much more to see. It is a beautiful experience and one must take their children to visit as it will be an enlightening experience. Mr. Pimple who manages the museum welcomed us warmly and gave an hour long tour of the place with explanation. Though out of the place it is a must visit for children and those who want a glimpse of Bombay transport.

Great Experience without any tickets - Free Entry This is Must Visit Museum for all Mumbaikars and foreigners too Staff is very Cooperative, Mr Sanjay tells too many interesting stories about old BEST and Tram System

Nice place for one day visit. You will get the entire knowledge about the creation of former BEST undertaking. The guide provide us the very good detail about each n every subject. The entry is free of cost.

An amazing place to witness the history of our Bus transport system right from day one! Its a must visit place you will definitely be surprised to see some interesting facts and things on display, its having a rich history. You need to visit personally and experience the same! A must visit place.

Tried to visit them twice. There number can never be reached because the landline is always spoilt. When i visited them on a Monday at 4 pm they said it shuts at 3 pm on Mondays. They said to visit on any other day or before 3 pm on a Monday. so the next Monday i visited them at 11 am, they said its shut today because the person who opens it locked it and went somewhere. So basically its impossible to visit them on Mondays. You can try on other days, and write your experience here. But there is no guarantee if it will be open at all. Very disappointing. B.E.S.T at its best !

Very nice museum. Very very old machineries of bus,bus skeleton,model red bus, bus tickets , badges of conductors, drivers & checkers, coins etc.. exhibted in the museum. But many more drawback in this museum. 1.Museum situated in the campus of Bus depot. 2 . Not Proper reception. Gatekeeper of depot maintain small size notes for vistors visited. 3. Museum in the 3rd floor .No lift facilities.so walk in steps only reached to museum 4.Building is very old , but not renovated after built. And also not paint in the wall. 5.But latest or 30 years before machineries or any other equipments , tickets ,etc not included in the museum. But really good museum. Above demirts , take proper action by B.E.S.T administration. Surely this museum will be good tourist spot in Mumbai city. Thanking you

Very interesting. More to see than we expected. Will definitely be back. Thanks Mr.Yatin sir for guidance

Excellent place to view BEST history. Not many know this place even exist in Anik Depot. Good for school and family trips.

Reached the museum around 4pm and was asked to leave as they said there is only one staff handling the keys of the museum (Mr Pimple) and he has left because the timings were 7am to 3pm,whereas the timings were 9am to 5pm according to google(since no timings are mentioned on their website).I ended up losing my precious time and requested them to update the timings atleast on google as there is no information on the BEST website.Hope nobody faces similar issues in the future.

Good for an visit to have a brief introduction of B.E.S.T. in India.

Nice place to visit for adults and childrens. Staff is also cooperative. They help us to get information about each and every thing in the museum. Nice collection of vintage vehicles,coins and instruments. Government should give some funds for making better.

Good to visit for old nostalgic experince

Good place to visit to get information about B.ES.T. Services. Museum Staff is co-operative and provides in depth detail.

You can see the past Mumbai Transport and electric history here. But it is not at all maintained.

It is a great place to bring your family to understand the evolution of BEST over the years. Mr. Sanjay also explains it well. Some exhibits are a little dusty but reasonably well maintained

The British Raj was the period of British rule on the Indian subcontinent between 1757 and 1947, for around 200 years of British occupation. The system of governance was instituted in 1858 when the rule of the East India Company was transferred to the Crown in the person of Queen Victoria. The British Raj lasted until 1947, when the British provinces of India were partitioned into two sovereign dominion states: the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, leaving the princely states to choose between them. Most of the princely states decided to join either Dominion of India or Dominion of Pakistan, except the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It was only at the last moment that Jammu and Kashmir agreed to sign the "Instrument of Accession" with India. The two new dominions later became the Republic of India and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan (the eastern half of which, still later, became the People's Republic of Bangladesh). The province of Burma in the eastern region of the Indian Empire had been made a separate colony in 1937 and became independent in 1948. The East India Company was an English and later British joint-stock company.[1] It was formed to trade in the Indian Ocean region, initially with Mughal India and the East Indies, and later with Qing China. The company ended up seizing control of large parts of the Indian subcontinent, colonised parts of Southeast Asia, and colonised Hong Kong after a war with Qing China.

This is a very underrated museum in Mumbai. But though the collection of this place is really good. You get to see the glimpses of complete evolution of BEST transportation service. The address is anik bus depot, administrative building 3rd floor.

I love museam

Went on Sunday 21 Nov 2021. Was huge disappointment as it was closed. Google said its Monday n Tuesday closed but this is incorrect.

Best Place !!

The museum shows how BEST progressed through the years, from horse drawn trams till today's AC mini-buses. Free entry and done on a shoe string budget, it's fun for 8 year olds and affectionados.

The best place

(Translated by Google) It's great (Original) खुपचं छान आहे

Sorry, Today (29th Nov'21) as I visited Anik Depot I was been told by the Security that the museum has been closed permanently.

In 2015, it was told BEST of Mumbai will have a Transport Museum in South mumbai. Nothing has has happened it seems in this direction.

Best place to visit for transport fans, models are absolutely fantastic.

The BEST Undertaking Bus Museum at Anik Depot, Mumbai, is a captivating tribute to the city's rich transportation history. Established in 1984, it's located in the heart of Mumbai, showcasing a diverse collection of buses and related artifacts. The museum's primary focus is on the Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking, which was formed in 1947. The museum's collection spans decades, featuring vintage buses made of various materials, from wood to metal. These vehicles provide a visual journey through Mumbai's evolving public transportation system. It serves as a reminder of the vital role BEST has played in Mumbai's development, from its humble beginnings as a tram service to the extensive bus network it is today. The museum's historical significance cannot be overstated. This cultural institution not only preserves the past but also offers insights into the city's future transportation needs. A visit to the BEST Undertaking Bus Museum is a nostalgic and educational experience that pays tribute to Mumbai's enduring spirit.

Unique aspects of history are presented in very innovative way. Very enhancing experience.

Origin of BEST

(Translated by Google) Great for kids and older kids too. All the staff here are preserving Mumbai's past. But the administration's apathy is evident. (Original) लहान मुलं आणि मोठ्यांसाठीही छान आहे. येथील सर्वच कर्मचारी मुंबईचं गतवैभव जपत आहेत. पण प्रशासनाची अनास्था दिसून येतेच.

(Translated by Google) Yaha par best ki pahle ki sabhi rakhi hai jisse best hindeke ke bare me pakat hai ki angrejon ke jamane se jaane mane ko busses hai hai Why is it that I have always been able to tell if I have any idea of ​​how well I am using it or that I have always used it to teach everything. (Original) Yaha par best ki pahle ki sabhi chijen rakhi gai hai jisse best undertaking ke bare me pata chalta hai ki angrejon ke jamane se ab tak kon kon si busses use ki gai hai Yaha par tram jo sabse pahle chalai gai thi uske bare me yaha sab hai or kin companiyon ki busses best me istemal hui hai un sabhi ke modal hai yaha pe
