Pune, April 27: AFTER banning the Pune Municipal Transport (PMT) buses from plying in the University chowk area, the traffic police recently granted permission for the transport body to run its mini-buses on routes in this area. The PMT has already started eight mini-buses for commuters to reach Pashan, Aundh, Sutarwadi, Abhinav College, Baner and Balewadi. The PMT buses were banned from plying through the University chowk from April 17 to help the construction of the flyover. The routes from Pashan, Aundh, Baner and Sutarwadi were closed for PMT buses. This caused inconvenience to passengers and a daily loss of revenue for the transport body because of the diversions buses had to take. The number of passengers too dropped. Subsequently, traffic experts and PMT committee members had demanded that mini-buses be allowed to ply in the area. After much deliberation, the traffic police has granted permission to the PMT to ply the mini-buses from Senapati Bapat Road. Five mini-buses have already begun plying on two ring routes — PMC to PMC via Pashan and PMC to PMC via Balewadi from April 20 while three mini-buses have started plying on the shuttle route from Deccan to Deccan via Abhinav College in Sutarwadi. The routes * PMC to PMC via Balewadi: Mafatlal bungalow- Shivaji Housing Society- Chatuhshrungi foothills- Pune University gate- Police headquarters/ Abhimanshri Society- Sindh colony/Baner phata- Baner Road- Balewadi- Baner phata/ Sanewadi- ITI/ Police workshop/ Bremen chowk-Kasturba Vasahat-Pune University gate- Mhasoba gate- PMC building. http://cities.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=233686 Bookmark/Search this post with:
