PMPML to run 10 buses to 10 zones from Pune railway station

PUNE: PMPML will daily run 10 buses from the Pune railway station to carry passengers arriving in the city by train.
“Passengers availing of the bus service will have to pay Rs70 as fare. This is far less than the fare charged by autorickshaws and cabs,” said Anant Waghmare, Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) traffic manager.
He said 10 zones covering different locations in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad have been created for the purpose. “The buses will ply in these zones,” Waghmare added.
The Pune traffic police, meanwhile, said autorickshaw drivers who have received passes to ply during the lockdown should be present at the railway station to ferry passengers.
“A total of 640 autorickshaw drivers have been given passes. They should be present at the Pune station and ensure that the passengers are not overcharged,” ACP (traffic) Surendra Deshmukh said.
With the Bihar government announcing a total lockdown from July 16 to July 31, the railways has alerted passengers travelling on the Pune-Danapur Express to make arrangements for local transportation.
