Amid the ongoing Ganeshotsav, the extended Pune Metro hours have proved to be a boon for devotees visiting Ganpati pandals in the city. All prominent mandals, including the five 'manache' Ganpatis, are located in the heart of the city. It becomes extremely difficult for people to find space to park their vehicles as there is always a huge number of devotees flocking to the pandals. Hence, many have opted for the metro this year. Renuka Chaudhary, a resident of Viman Nagar, said, "I usually travel by my twowheeler or take an autorickshaw to come to the city. But during Ganeshotsav, there is a lot of traffic. Metro has become a very helpful mode of transport in such situations. People could enjoy the festival for more time and easily come back to their homes without sticking in the traffic jam."
