Citizens become night owls for Bappa’s darshan, as all-night BEST buses take them pandal hopping

Senior citizens opt for hop-on-hop-off buses for Ganpati darshan
Hundreds of Mumbaikars picked the nighttime for a darshan of their favourite Bappa, with the launch of BEST’s Ganeshotsav special tour. The transport service’s all-night buses clicked with the devotees, who went around the city, hopping from one Ganpati pandal to another. A special service was launched for senior citizens, too, by the state administration.
The service has been particularly useful for devotees who prefer hopping from one pandal to another, for the darshan of Ganesha. “On the very first night, more than 500 devotees took rides and about 4,000 people availed the facility so far. The response to the night darshan buses has been overwhelming,” a BEST official said.
