While the Pune police asked the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) to open up BRTS routes for all kinds of vehicles due to growing congestions on Pune city’s roads, the Pimpri-Chinchwad police said they have no such plan for the industrial city. At the same time, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation said it is gearing up to start its fifth BRTS route in the city.

“We have not suggested any BRTS route to be opened for all kinds of vehicles,” said Pimpri-Chinchwad Deputy Commissioner of Police (traffic) Anand Bhoite Saturday.

However, the traffic police said they have asked the PCMC to shut down small BRTS stretches. “We have written to PCMC to shut down two small BRTS stretches to avoid traffic congestions in the area.
