The driver is then seen steering the bus in the incorrect direction as a woman is seen crossing the street, thus, the story does not finish here. Swiftly slipping by the signal, he boards the bus ahead in what may be an attempt to get to the designated stop. The route number is A-124 on the BEST Bus that can be seen in the video. The Worli Bus Depot and Colaba Bus Station are connected by the A-214. The bus travels via Tardeo, Bhindi Bazar, and Bhuleshwar, three of SoBo's busiest districts, before arriving at its destination in the Colaba neighborhood.
