For the benefit of passengers arriving in Mumbai City during the nighttime, the BEST has introduced Air-Conditioned, and Limited bus services, from Chhatrapati Shivaji International (Sahar) Airport to Nariman Point / Backbay Depot in South Mumbai. Considering the peak activity at the airports during night hours theses bus services will be operated from 23.00hrs to 5.00hrs.

Both Air-Conditioned as well as Limited bus services would be provided by the BEST on this route at an interval of every half an hour. The frequency of the buses will be further improved on the basis of response from the passengers.

These bus routes are connecting four prime hotels of the Mumbai city. They are ITC Grand Maratha Sheraton (Parel), Taj Palace (Apollo Bunder), Hilton Tower (Nariman Point), and Hotel President (Cuffe Parade), on its itinerary.

The detailed itineraries of these services are:

I and someone else both posted announcements about this service here on IM a while back, but it's good to have a reminder, especially since I'm going to be there in two weeks. I'd appreciate it if anyone using this service between now and then could comment for the rest of us about their experience. I'd especially like to know how much space they provide for luggage; one would hope they'd provide a couple of nice big luggage shelves.
