Pune police chief firm on BRTS closure request; PMPML resists, PMC seeking expert opinion

Pune police commissioner Amitabh Gupta Sunday reiterated that the closure of the BRTS (Bus Rapid Transit System) routes will help ease the flow of traffic in Pune. A few days ago, the police chief had written to the Pune municipal commissioner, urging him to open the three existing BRTS routes in the city to all kinds of vehicles.

“We have nothing against the BRTS… We want the best possible solution in the present circumstances vis-a-vis the traffic situation. In the present scenario, opening up the BRTS routes seems to be the solution to mitigate the traffic chaos,” Gupta told indianexpress.com.
