I traveled in this DD bus yesterday and one thing i found was that conductors don't allow standing passengers on the upper deck. You are allowed to go to the upper deck only if a seat is vacant.
Woooww...This double decker bus is so modern. Full of tech....I have been in local buses in my city Bhubaneswar and it is good to have a ride, but this bus is really great.
I took this bus for Heritage ride in April. My daughter liked it so much that the attendant were happy to watch and care her throughout the ride. Great suspension, good stability for the height, large tinted glasses with panoramic views, decent build quality and the good conditioned SoBo roads all made for that ₹150 per person 45 mins ride. The bus is silent inside, well maintained temperature, working cameras, crew was supportive. I liked this bus more than the Mumbai heritage buildings being announced on the way.
speed. Because I'm not the problem by any means, it's does creators that form after monsoon. Also the waterline in monsoon will be above its battery area, so need to see what that would be
I am from village of Maharashtra. When i first came to Mumbai in Jan 2025 for just travel. Then i seen this bus and i amazed seeing this bus. I became fan of this bus. It seems very beautiful and advance.
I really appreciate the fact that the video is made in English but also make these videos in Marathi, Hindi and other Indian languages. This is just a friendly suggestion so that every citizen can understand the content that's shared.
Building the bus body is a craft and art work which will take sometime for Indian bus bodybuilders. The body works is not at par with that of European buses. Also while picking the color one needs to know that you have to pick the colors shade which is low on chromatic scale so that it doesn’t hit your eyes and senses. It’s not just about picking any color or red color but ensuring the color is not very bright to the eyes and picking color shed low on chromatic spectrum.
Would have been nice if BEST had retained the blood red color. The one on this bus seems to have a faded shade that would soon look old ... even when new. As in London, BEST is best with the original red.
And, no thoughts went into adding 360 cam view. It's not just about internal cameras, the streets are always crowded and flooded with jaywalkers, and 360 view camera is must have for a country with cattles on streets.
Rather ordering so many they should have introduced iterations to understand real time problems and then bring out huge order for the best variant fitting with all the needs
By 2025, All Busses in india should become EV. By 2025 All Trucks should Run on Hydrogen. All sates and centre should make a Policy to achieve it with multiple Giga factories & network.
This bus design has been making the Switch brand look really bad in the UK, no wonder their sales have been tanking. Nice to see that the Empire is still somewhat alive. Bit surprised that Optare/Switch has approved the use of their brand on a non-wheelchair accessible bus of which they probably didn't even design.
perfect combination of old nostalgic double deckers of Mumbai and the ones in London. absolutely love it
Proud to be working at this company!!
Hyderabad also having these one's
Konsa department ?
Nostalgia. Reminds me when we used get so excited to seat on the top deck
I Saw this Beauty in Mumbai ♥️♥️

That makes sense
Switch mobility mai security ka kaam karta hoo mai...I'm proud ki switch itna aage jaraha hai 😊😊😊
Old beauty of Bombay with new twist

Another gem from Ashok Leyland ❤

The monsoon season will be the real test of these buses. Hope they survive the road conditions and water logging
Speed breakers are going to be its kryptonite. That ground clearence worries me. 😮
After seeing those high volt wires I am worried in rainy season 😢
That's y it has air suspension to uplift and make ground clearance higher 😒😒
Thank me later
speed. Because I'm not the problem by any means, it's does creators that form after monsoon.
Also the waterline in monsoon will be above its battery area, so need to see what that would be
Ground clearance looks small because of it's massive size . Otherwise it should be high enough .
Because the centre of gravity is very good then it's not a problem bro...
In my area (Chennai, Tiruvottriyur) Ashok Leyland manufacturing plant is there so they tested this switch ev in my area

Autobus India
😂
The question is whether the electric battery pack area would be able to withstand the inevitable flooding of the roads in Mumbai every year.
the route choosen rarely floods
That gear lever and the smooth gearbox in the BEST busses
Can it run through waterlogged road of Mumbai during monsoon ?
Hey ... I saw Leyland logo on steering wheel .. any connection between leyland n switch ?
Loved this video..!! Very thoughtful one
Please don’t discontinue the old one I still love that

Damn you Leyland!!.. awesome!
That front wheel was almost in air when cornering!
What about wheelchair ramp for disabled people uk buses has that
This was first introduced in Hyderabad and running on Hyderabad roads from long time ago.
No brother, first vehicle launch in Mumbai....
18 August 2022...🎉
Would have been nice if BEST had retained the blood red color. The one on this bus seems to have a faded shade that would soon look old ... even when new. As in London, BEST is best with the original red.
Beautiful bus
We need this in Bangalore😍
You have driven it without payload at top and bottom Shapur, that’s why you felt it stable at corners.
Hope this comes to Bengaluru!
That's bus not world level standard.!
bangluru sould incrduct VOLVO 's BZL DD.. Electric
We have same bus in ahmedabad and it runs so well on all kind of rough roads.....
Who else is waiting for Independence Day spl drive review of Mahindra ALSV 😍😍😍 KALYANI M4 was ❣️ now mahindra ALSV should be driven😍

Everything is great, except those seats. They should have introduced better luxury seats with head rest, arm rest n individual USB port like in UAE.
This mass transport for Mumbai, leather seats won't last a month. These seats look good that they get spoiled easily
Seats are good enough for a public transport vehicle
Why doesn't the driver get surround camera view?
What about battery short circuit in flood like situation in roads?
5:29, is it just me or the bus seems tilted to the left?
Hope they keep it clean and glossy.
What about the road water hitting battery pack in rain
Great review Shapur sir👍...enjoyed every bit of this iconic vehicle review ❤
Thanks.
As an IMC trolleybus and the possibility for wheelchair to get in, it would have been perfect.
Another wall for the advertisement 😅
Good job chennai switch. And pune
Rather ordering so many they should have introduced iterations to understand real time problems and then bring out huge order for the best variant fitting with all the needs
Is there any route in Sounth Mumbai on which this bus runs?
Last announcement was hilarious...
I like the Leyland badge on the steering wheel
Haven't seen any auto channel show me driving a bus
And the main question arrives.
This is Mumbai, can it SWIM?!
Hyderabad has same Ev double decker buses which are operational now.
All important question: what's the range?
What happens during a monsoon season... how will the undercarriage hold up during water under neath etc..
This bus has more space than a luxury house in Mumbai. People should just buy one and live in it.
Ashok Leyland 🎉🎉
Even TSRTC going to start these soon in Hyderabad
Add some efficient solar for extra juice
Made in chennai ❤
it looks beautiful
fan is running no AC??
Finally govt is doing something about public transportation. Current buses are of stone age.
I was going to buy Activa but this vehicle intrigued me and now I'm confused what to buy.
Imagine this bus's underwater battery pack in Mumbai floods
What is the range of the bus ?
What's the real world range with passengers in mumbai traffic....??
Yes, this is made in Ch…
not China. Chennai
Mileage?
Already in bangalore switch electric buses providing service
What is the range
Why is the steering from layland
Switch EiV22 will not put out any "LOCAL EMISSIONS"?
Please give a try on KSTRC Airwat once
जय श्री कृष्ण
जय श्री राम
जय श्री जगन्नाथ
Bus looks cool but if only ppl keep it clean plus
By 2025, All Busses in india should become EV. By 2025 All Trucks should Run on Hydrogen.

What about the Mumbai flash floods?
When Mumbai floods, these batteries will short. Also, has it been tested against Mumbai's speed brakers??
Why it has Ashok Leyland steering ?
Ev brand of Ashok leyand
Switch mobility is the ev subsidiary of Ashok Leyland
Switch is a subsidiary of Ashok Leyland.... basically their electric division
Switch Mobility parent company is Ashok leyland
It has partnered in India with Ashok Leyland
Nice one
What happens when Mumbai gets waterlogged. As battery and other electric are located so low these will be quickly out of commission.
Amazing
How come not a low floor?
Nowadays Chennai manufactures many things
First Ban speed beakers in India! And fix traffic problems like maintaining vehicles spaces at respecting lanes.
Seeing this since 3 months in Hyderabad
This bus design has been making the Switch brand look really bad in the UK, no wonder their sales have been tanking. Nice to see that the Empire is still somewhat alive.
Bit surprised that Optare/Switch has approved the use of their brand on a non-wheelchair accessible bus of which they probably didn't even design.
With such a big battery, all of mumbais roads will be 95% potholes
Excellent 👌🏼👍🏼❤
Still miss the old diesel Double-deckers they where more comfortable🙊 Sorry #greenevi
I'm worrying about the tyres; these are similar to regular buses, but they are going to carry double of regular load
Think about Mumbai monsoon
Water wading, Mumbai being a monsoon enemy for roads
Dibs on the front seat on top deck.
Nice , ,
Bahar se jitni lal hain utni andar se bhi ho jayegi
Why is the seatbelt so slack? Already modified to suit local drivers (Taxi driver style)
Why am I watching bus videos at 7am????
