Keeping in mind the convenience of commuters, BEST has decided to run additional bus services from September 7 to 16, 2024, during the night. This move aims to accommodate the surge in commuters during late-night hours, particularly in Central and South Mumbai.
The special bus services will operate between 10:30 PM and 6:00 AM, covering routes from Colaba to North-West Mumbai, including key areas such as Girgaon, Lalbaug, Parel, and Chembur. The initiative is designed to enhance convenience and accessibility for both devotees and tourists attending the festival.
