 SOME GRIM FACTS
• The PMC has admitted that rising mobility pattern of citizens
has not been correspondingly supported by an efficient public
transport. "The result of this is clearly seen in increase in
personal vehicles," the ESR says. The ESR has pointed out
that there has been a sharp fall in the number of passengers
using Pune Municipal Transport (PMT) buses, i.e. from
5,72,671 to 3,49,048, and a nearly 25 per cent reduction in the
average passengers traveling by the buses per day.

• The PMT is short of 400 buses as per the norm of 40 buses for
a population of one lakh. This increases the travel time, due to
which masses are reluctant to travel by public transport
services, the report says.
