According to a recent survey conducted by a Pune based NGO, one out of every five cyclists in Pune uses cycle tracks while the rest use lanes meant for motorised vehicles. This is among one of the major reasons for road accidents.
The study was undertaken by Save Pune Traffic Movement (SPTM) and found that the proportion of cyclists using cycle tracks varies between 7 per cent and 18 per cent, depending on the location and time of day.
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has made many efforts to make cycling easier and promote non-motorised transport. The PMC has constructed cycle tracks along several major arterial roads in the city and has a Cycle Plan and cell dedicated to resolve issues faced by cyclists.
