Due to the heavy rush of devotees during the holy month of Shravan, the Pune division of the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) has planned to deploy a total of 80 buses that will be operated to holy places.

Out of these, 30 buses will run as part of the regular service from Shivajinagar, Khed, and Manchar depots. Additionally, 50 extra buses have been deployed between Bhimashankar and the designated parking area to facilitate easier access for devotees.
