The BEST in a BEST bus stands for Bombay (well actually its Brihanmumbai now) Electricity Supply and Transport. It is more commonly referred to as b.s.t bus... People tend to drop the 'E'. They are usually red and white in colour and they are single decker buses although certain routes have double decker ones as well(my personal favourite). The routes cover the whole of Mumbai city, with bus stops convieniently located in virtually every road friendly area, and since the bus is a state owned enterprise, the tickets are heavily subsidised and therefore, extremely cheap.
If you want a list of all the bus routes there are many places where cheap little books with everyday information like this along with maps, important numbers etc are easily available at Railway Station (for local trains) book sellers and other places as well.
