With thousands of devotees anticipated for the Mount Mary Yatra in Bandra, BEST Undertaking will introduce 236 additional buses for the week, running between Bandra railway station (West) and Hill Road from September 13 to 20. These special services aim to alleviate the congestion caused by thousands of devotees arriving via suburban trains and heading towards Mount Mary Church and the Father Agnel Ashram premises.
The extra buses will connect Bandra station (West) with Hill Road garden, as the proximity to the shrine makes it impossible for buses to approach the church directly. Additionally, extra services will operate from the Bandra area to handle the influx of passengers during the yatra. To ensure smooth passage for both buses and passengers, BEST has deployed bus inspectors and traffic officers at crucial points throughout the week.
They will guide passengers, assist with bus operations, and help manage traffic disruptions caused by the surge in devotees. The BEST administration urges devotees and other commuters to utilize these additional bus services during the yatra to ease pressure on the suburban rail-bus interchange and provide a safer and more convenient journey to Mount Mary Church.
