Due to the colossal losses that the BEST bus service is facing — the revenue deficit is of nearly Rs 2.26 crore per day, according to RTI activist Anil Galgali based on a response to a query filed by him — the undertaking had requested the state government to waive toll for its buses plying outside Mumbai. When sunday mid-day spoke to Raote on Thursday, he said, "BEST buses don't ply beyond greater Mumbai, so there is no question of waiving toll." This was the day he inaugurated the new Kurla Bus Depot, and in a chat with reporters agreed that a plan had to be thought up to haul BEST out of losses.

This is what he knows about state transport inspite of being State Transport minister.

This reminds me the scene of "Nayak" movie when Amrish Puri asks his minister what is our daily revenue. In reply to that revenue minister as him. Whose revenue, ours or government
