This arrangement aims to prevent congestion in the city while providing convenient transport to the pilgrims. Regular services to other cities will continue, ensuring that non-Wari passengers are not affected.

To manage the increased operations efficiently, 24-hour control rooms have been set up by the MSRTC. Technical and inspection teams are on standby, and volunteers along with extra staff have been appointed to assist the Warkaris.

Separate traffic routes and bus stops have also been designated to streamline the process. In Pandharpur, temporary halts have been created at various locations to accommodate the incoming buses.
