As we know Traffic congestion is a growing problem in Greater Pune (Pune, Pimpri and Chinchwad). The problem has been accentuated by the lack of even & convenient bus transport systems.

Ironically, Greater Pune has more private vehicles than the megapolis of Mumbai.

Solution - An increase in number of public buses with greater frequency periods will certainly encourage more Puneites to use public transport, thereby decreasing the traffic levels in the city.

In order to make this happen, several business houses, NGO along with PMC has come forward for Public Private Partnership to work for this cause.

The project plans to supplement the existing 1,500 strong bus fleet of the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) with an additional 1,500 buses on Thursday, November 1, 2012.
 
Great initiative! Even in hyd, RTC corporation is in losses but the busses here are jam packed especially in the mornings/evenings. I myself travel to college on bike after experiencing near death situation while i was hanging from footboard.
 
Same situation in Pune. Buses are totally packed from 7:30 am to 10 am & 5pm to 8:30pm.

Waiting for 1st Nov. Every Punekar should join this....

OMG!!! There are lots of buses on road... Enjoyed Pune Bus Day today morning...
 
I travel daily by office bus, its bus day daily for me 🙂
 
Bus day thing is there in Bangalore for more than a year now. Its on 3rd of each month, But havent seen so much of advertisement in Bangalore for Bus day!I would travel by Bus to office, But there is no direct Bus from my home to my office. And the distance is 8KM's :-( BMTC Zindabad!
 
Bus Day was good initiative. But since it was sponsored by 1 Media group, other media didn't take note, or didn't highlight it.BTW is it true that Politicians from Pune (like Kalmadi and Pawar) didn't allow Public transport to grow to create a situation favorable for Private Vehicles manufacturers in Pune like Tata, Bajaj, etc. Kalmadi even has stake in some Vehicle dealers shop I guess.
 
Zabardast support frm Punekar.
