To streamline the traffic, Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has approved 400 CNG buses, 100 diesel buses and 500 electric buses for the city; 32 midibuses were designed specially for women with 15 inspecting teams and CCTV facilities for women safety in it. Also with Intelligent Transit Management System (ITMS) and Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS), we track buses easily, says Nayana Gunde Chairperson and Managing Director of PMPML in conversation with Harshal Desai of Elets News Network (ENN).
What significant role PMPML is playing to strengthen the transport system within Pune City?
As of now, we have around 10-11 lakh people who are using buses. As per Central Institute of Road Transportation (CIRT) report, there should be 50 buses for every one lakh population. Considering that, we are catering to around 60 lakh people. Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) both. We need around 3,000 buses for that, but we are short of 1,000 buses. In the latest board of directors meeting, we have made provision for that. Firstly, we are getting 200 midibuses out of which we have got 187 buses, then we are getting 33 Tejaswini buses for which we have given the purchase order, so we are expecting it in the next two-three months. The board of directors has approved 400 CNG buses, 100 diesel buses and 500 electric buses. So, when we have buses for people to use, it will gradually streamline the traffic.
Electric buses is a good idea, but then we would need a good infrastructure for that. What are your initiatives on that? Any other infrastructural development related thing which will process in future?
