The bus accident at Kurla on Monday evening caused a temporary suspension of all bus routes to Kurla station. This severely impacted the morning rush hour, with commuters having to walk a mile to the bus depot on LBS Road to catch a bus. Auto drivers took advantage of the situation by overcharging passengers.

There are nearly 10 to 15 routes outside Kurla station in the west. But on Tuesday none of them were working. The BEST bus office was also shut and there were intermittent announcements stating that no bus would arrive or depart there. Buses outside Kurla West station go in all directions, including BKC, Bandra, Worli, Marol, Andheri and Santacruz and are used by nearly 2 lakh plus commuters throughout the day.
