Public transportation is the backbone of any growing metro city. PMPML's latest plan to boost its fleet by 700 buses is a major step toward a greener Pune.
Sustainable Mobility
A significant portion of the new fleet will consist of electric and CNG buses, aligning with the city's commitment to reducing carbon emissions. This expansion will focus on high-traffic corridors and suburban feeders.
Impact on Rental Demand
Better bus connectivity often correlates with higher rental demand in residential clusters. Areas currently underserved by the metro will benefit immensely from these new routes.
