Dedicated AC buses would ply these routes during peak hours. At a meeting of the empowered committee of government policy think tank Mumbai Transformation Support Unit (MTSU) on Wednesday, a decision was taken to introduce the buses on pilot routes.The MTSU had earlier sought suggestions and objections from the public about the move.

The committee also insisted on a time-bound implementation of the Mumbai Trans-harbour Link (MTHL).
