Briefly describe the history of the museum, its collection and donors.
This is a one-of-a-kind museum that houses miniatures of the BEST company's buses and trams, and a collection of old bus tickets and old photographs of buses from when they were introduced to Mumbai. The center of attraction is a classic Daimler double decker bus chassis exhibited right in the middle of the museum. It also has bus staff mannequins and city gas lamps to give visitors a glimpse of some aspects of old Mumbai during the time it was brimming with the advent of modern transportation.
