Mumbai: From today, show 2-dose proof to ride BEST buses

MUMBAI: The

BEST undertaking will from Monday insist on passengers showing proof of double vaccination before boarding buses

.


A senior official said the management has instructed all conductors, ground staff and bus ticket examiners to ensure that only fully vaccinated passengers who have completed 14 days after second dose board the

AC and non-AC buses

.

Commuters said this may delay journeys and is not practical as they board buses on the road, where it may not be possible to do proper checks.

A BEST spokesperson said passengers can show the universal pass on their mobile within seconds, or they can download the vaccination certificate from the Cowin app. They can also carry paper copies of the certificate.

“It should not be a problem,” the official said.
