The special AC bus service between Kohinoor parking lot and Siddhivinayak temple, remains a flop even a month after the launch. The devotees still complain about the half-an-hour wait for the bus, and prefer taking risks parking in a no-parking zone every time they go for Bappa’s darshan.

mid-day had on October 4, two days post-launch, reported how regular travellers availed the A-54 service as they got an AC ride for just R6, while the Siddhivinayak devotees made no use of the Kohinoor Public Parking Lot or the bus. A month later, nothing has changed; devotees prefer to park near the temple, risking their vehicles being towed by the police.
