Switch mobility mai security ka kaam karta hoo mai...I'm proud ki switch itna aage jaraha hai 😊😊😊

@neel3297 Год назад

Nostalgia. Reminds me when we used get so excited to seat on the top deck

@siddheshshanbhag Год назад

I traveled in this DD bus yesterday and one thing i found was that conductors don't allow standing passengers on the upper deck. You are allowed to go to the upper deck only if a seat is vacant.

@jayasuriyas2604 Год назад

That makes sense

@kiranm6749 Год назад

Old beauty of Bombay with new twist

@deepakmurali2007 Год назад

Another gem from Ashok Leyland ❤

@HonestSatish Год назад

I took this bus for Heritage ride in April. My daughter liked it so much that the attendant were happy to watch and care her throughout the ride. Great suspension, good stability for the height, large tinted glasses with panoramic views, decent build quality and the good conditioned SoBo roads all made for that ₹150 per person 45 mins ride. The bus is silent inside, well maintained temperature, working cameras, crew was supportive. I liked this bus more than the Mumbai heritage buildings being announced on the way.

@taranshupattnaiktp3335 Год назад

Woooww...This double decker bus is so modern. Full of tech....I have been in local buses in my city Bhubaneswar and it is good to have a ride, but this bus is really great.

@andreajesuspirlo Год назад

Speed breakers are going to be its kryptonite. That ground clearence worries me. 😮

@anilkhade489 Год назад

After seeing those high volt wires I am worried in rainy season 😢

@Xeyz46 Год назад

That's y it has air suspension to uplift and make ground clearance higher 😒😒 Thank me later

@shree397 Год назад

speed. Because I'm not the problem by any means, it's does creators that form after monsoon. Also the waterline in monsoon will be above its battery area, so need to see what that would be

@buri_buri_Z Год назад

Ground clearance looks small because of it's massive size . Otherwise it should be high enough .

@WeKnowIslam94 Год назад

Because the centre of gravity is very good then it's not a problem bro...

@dineshhaldawnekar8542 Год назад

The monsoon season will be the real test of these buses. Hope they survive the road conditions and water logging

@i.m_ironman Год назад

In my area (Chennai, Tiruvottriyur) Ashok Leyland manufacturing plant is there so they tested this switch ev in my area

@yoppindia Год назад

Hope they have taken care of Mumbai's monsoon roads.

@ameyaathavale801 Год назад

I really appreciate the fact that the video is made in English but also make these videos in Marathi, Hindi and other Indian languages. This is just a friendly suggestion so that every citizen can understand the content that's shared.

@sidhantgarg4277 Год назад

The question is whether the electric battery pack area would be able to withstand the inevitable flooding of the roads in Mumbai every year.

@MumbaikarSahill Год назад

the route choosen rarely floods

@ShriRam_P1_Dalal Год назад

Loved this video..!! Very thoughtful one

@polyglot52 11 месяцев назад

Building the bus body is a craft and art work which will take sometime for Indian bus bodybuilders. The body works is not at par with that of European buses. Also while picking the color one needs to know that you have to pick the colors shade which is low on chromatic scale so that it doesn’t hit your eyes and senses. It’s not just about picking any color or red color but ensuring the color is not very bright to the eyes and picking color shed low on chromatic spectrum.

This bus has more space than a luxury house in Mumbai. People should just buy one and live in it.

@kirtanpai3786 Год назад

Beautiful bus

@aravindkvb Год назад

This was first introduced in Hyderabad and running on Hyderabad roads from long time ago.

@prince_maula Год назад

No brother, first vehicle launch in Mumbai.... 18 August 2022...🎉

@Kiran.Nair. Год назад

Another wall for the advertisement 😅

@Abhishek28Yadav Год назад

Can it run through waterlogged road of Mumbai during monsoon ?

@bobbyisac Год назад

That front wheel was almost in air when cornering!

@sauravkr Год назад

And, no thoughts went into adding 360 cam view. It's not just about internal cameras, the streets are always crowded and flooded with jaywalkers, and 360 view camera is must have for a country with cattles on streets.

@mrinalsood6402 Год назад

Please don’t discontinue the old one I still love that

@rhtblf1 Год назад

Great review Shapur sir👍...enjoyed every bit of this iconic vehicle review ❤ Thanks.

@user-pm4pl5hh9m Год назад

Would have been nice if BEST had retained the blood red color. The one on this bus seems to have a faded shade that would soon look old ... even when new. As in London, BEST is best with the original red.

@vivekanandan5093 Год назад

Who else is waiting for Independence Day spl drive review of Mahindra ALSV 😍😍😍 KALYANI M4 was ❣️ now mahindra ALSV should be driven😍

@_pr0mZ Год назад

You have driven it without payload at top and bottom Shapur, that’s why you felt it stable at corners.

@manjunathams8865 Год назад

We need this in Bangalore😍

@anilkhade489 Год назад

After seeing those high volt wires I am worried in rainy season 😢

@ARZYXO Год назад

And the main question arrives. This is Mumbai, can it SWIM?!

@adityadange954 Год назад

Excellent 👌🏼👍🏼❤

@gauravingale4666 Год назад

Everything is great, except those seats. They should have introduced better luxury seats with head rest, arm rest n individual USB port like in UAE.

@mackisbrocklesnar Год назад

This mass transport for Mumbai, leather seats won't last a month. These seats look good that they get spoiled easily

@DeletedAccountForSure Год назад

Seats are good enough for a public transport vehicle

@임진영 10 месяцев назад

Amazing

@Reddylion Год назад

Good job chennai switch. And pune

@epicaffairs Год назад

Hope they keep it clean and glossy.

@AeZothesh Год назад

Rather ordering so many they should have introduced iterations to understand real time problems and then bring out huge order for the best variant fitting with all the needs

@PervinIrani Год назад

Nice one

Imagine this bus's underwater battery pack in Mumbai floods

@durgeshkoppikar2156 27 дней назад

What about the road water hitting battery pack in rain

Is there any route in Sounth Mumbai on which this bus runs?

@bobbyeapen6049 Год назад

What happens during a monsoon season... how will the undercarriage hold up during water under neath etc..

Add some efficient solar for extra juice

@sumitron2k Год назад

What happens when Mumbai gets waterlogged. As battery and other electric are located so low these will be quickly out of commission.

@kskarthikkeyan Год назад

Ashok Leyland 🎉🎉

@wclifton968gameplaystutorials Месяц назад

This bus design has been making the Switch brand look really bad in the UK, no wonder their sales have been tanking. Nice to see that the Empire is still somewhat alive. Bit surprised that Optare/Switch has approved the use of their brand on a non-wheelchair accessible bus of which they probably didn't even design.

@siddhantjain9940 Год назад

What is the range of the bus ?

@Keylevitation Год назад

With such a big battery, all of mumbais roads will be 95% potholes

@freedom3040 Год назад

By 2025, All Busses in india should become EV. By 2025 All Trucks should Run on Hydrogen. All sates and centre should make a Policy to achieve it with multiple Giga factories & network.

Why is the steering from layland

@gurusathyaprasadh Год назад

I'm worrying about the tyres; these are similar to regular buses, but they are going to carry double of regular load

I was going to buy Activa but this vehicle intrigued me and now I'm confused what to buy.

First Ban speed beakers in India! And fix traffic problems like maintaining vehicles spaces at respecting lanes.

When Mumbai floods, these batteries will short. Also, has it been tested against Mumbai's speed brakers??

What will be scenario in heavy monsoon ? When roads will become rivers…😃as batteries are underneath…

Bahar se jitni lal hain utni andar se bhi ho jayegi

@jithin3624 Год назад

Switch city public transport to ev bus soon

@gdp60b40 Год назад

Hmm. They better have a speed limit cause I see a huge roll over risk

@TJSaw Год назад

It’s should’ve had rear wheel steering. Good product nonetheless.

@deepakskanade Год назад

EV brand of Ashok Leyland(Hinduja Group)

@prakashm1468 Год назад

Going all electric.

@manishpandey6287 Год назад

why don't we have DOUBLE DECKER CARS? they too will save costs, occupy less road space, will be efficient

@tyronedsouza Год назад

They'll topple over at every corner.

@Catforever89 Год назад

Also why don't we have double decker Airplane..😂

@ishanmamadapur6307 Год назад

How many passengers would you like to carry in said doble decker car. Generally, a small van, then a small bus would still be better in terms of safety(smaller the height to wheelbase ratio, more unstable the vehicle would be) and efficiency (Double the frontal area, double the drag)
