In this regard, Shivajinagar depot Manager Anil Bhise said, “MahaMetro officials have been advised to ensure that passengers do not suffer inconvenience in the new place. A plan has been submitted to MahaMetro about the facilities that are required at the new site. Accordingly, the process of relocating the depot will begin once the facilities are available.”
“Shivajinagar bus depot currently has a diesel pump. At the new site, the ST buses will have to go to the pump at Shankar Sheth Road to fill the diesel,” he added. “The work will be completed by September 30,” said MahaMetro Executive Director Atul Gadgil.
