PMPML

A COMBINED EFFORT
BY PMC & PCMC
Mean By Public Transport -
 “PUBLIC TRANSPORT IS THE BACKBONE OF
THE DEVELOPED CITY.CITY IS DEVELOPED,
AND IT WAS RECOGNIZED THAT
STRENGTHENING OF PUBLICTRANSPORT
LEADS TO DEVELOPMENT OF CITY.”
 “Low income earners use public transport
more often than medium/high income
earners and are less satisfied with the
services offered.”
Facts about PUNE -
 Pune is developing into an IT hub, but the
infrastructure is lagging behind. Growth of
economy must be in parallel with growth in
transportation system, but is this the case with
Pune?
 In Pune we find that with the increase in
population, the problem of the transportation
and overall traffic has become more and more
complicated. The public transportation system
is not in a commanding position as compared
to the private transports.
Facts about PUNE -
 The Pune City had 2.5 million people in 2001, a
62% increase since 1991.
 The number of registered vehicles increased 97%
between 1997 and 2002, from 475,583 vehicles to
938,125 vehicles.
 Each month 10,000 – 13,000 new vehicles are
registered (a rate of over 400 per day).
 In 2003-04 approximately 110000 vehicles were
registered.
 Pune roads have gown 6times since 1960, but the
vehicles have increased by 105 times.

How does the PMPML manage itself ?

 PMPML plays a very important role in the daily lives of Puneites.

 It is the only affordable and convenient public transport service
that helps people reach any nook and corner in and around the
city.
 PMPML is equally useful to different groups of people like
students, employed people, senior citizens, people visiting Pune,
etc.
 While buying houses to settle down, people give priority to areas
where the PMPML service is easily available. PMPML has thus
been serving the people of Pune incessantly for the last 56 years.
 To serve the people of Pune is the primary goal of PMPML and it
manages its affairs so that it can best meet this goal. It will be
helpful to cast a look at how the PMPML actually "runs".

Purpose of research -
 In a city like Pune , where growth; political social and
economical, is in parallel with the growth in transport
systems, outdated and effective movement of people
and goods can put a choke-hold on city's
development.
 The Government's and publics persistent negligence
towards this issue is causing a trivial problem to
escalate into larger proportions.
 Is aimed at putting forward feasible solutions before
the problem gets out of hand.
 Is aimed at persuading the general public to adopt
more of public than private transport.
