PROFILE OF PMPML
4.1 Introduction
Pune and Pimpri-C'hinchwad are twin cities in which PMPML buses are operating.
These are historical cities where various communities hve harmoniously together since many years. The 11' parks and the auto components hubs are established in the part o f these cities.The industrial development o f Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad and its environs covers a span of last sixty years. The Pune Region has come into existence on 7th July 1967 and contains four prominent industrial growth areas. The north west o f the city comprising Chinchwad and its environs, the eastern part o f the city comprising lladpsar. Loni-kalbhor and Mundhwa. the north -eastern part comprising lirandwana. Paud road and Kothrud. Out o f these areas. Chinchw'ad and its environs is most prominent in development of industries in the region. The area contains a number of large, medium and small-scale units.'
In 1916-17 City Development Act was made applicable to Pune and development of the city started slowly. Population also began to increase, due to which difficulties arose in the communication between various parts o f the city. Consequently the idea o f bus services in the city was born.
'Tonga' and bicycles were the main public transport means in Pune prior to bus service. In the year 1940, Pune Nagarpalika decided to start a bus service to cater to the need of all commuters ol'the city. When this news was spread. Tongawalas. who were transporting the commuters, opposed and went on a strike. Tonga owners were against the bus service because it would be the cause o f the end o f their business,
fonga owners took ’morcha' to oppose bus services but their strong efforts of opposition became ineffective as time passed. All citizen of Pune were in favor of bus
service hence ruling congress government of that time passed resolution of starting bus service in Pune at a general meeting. It was agreed that at the beginning bus service will be owned by a private company. Hence Pune Municipality had demanded lenders from private companies for bus service. Only two companies, the Industrial
Service Limited and Silver .lubilee had replied to the offer and submitted their tenders to the Pune Municipality, out of the two tenders Silver .lubilee Company's tender was
73 passed by the Pune Municipality. On 19"’ June 1940 stale government informed the
Pune Municipality that giving permission to city Bus service is not in their jurisdiction but it comes under The Governments Regional I’ransport Department.
Later on the 6‘'’ o f June 19 4 1,the regional Transport Department, after considering the matter o f bus service informed the Pune Municipality that the Silver Jubilee Company was given permission to start bus service in Pune, Gradually, in the year 19 4 1, the
RTO issued permission to Pune Nagarpalika to run the Bus service in the City area and ultimately permission was granted to M/S Silver Jubilee Motor co. by Pune
Nagarpalika to start a Bus service on 2nd June 19 4 1.With this permission from the government, Silver Jubilee company started its bus services in Pune. The shape of the buses was small for the first three years. Only fourteen commuters could sit in the bus. But after 1944 buses which had the capacity to carry 22 commuters came on the roads. Initially only four routes mentioned below were operated and all the buses driven were o f petrol.
1. Swargate to Station
2. Swargate to Shivajinagar
3. Lakdi pool to Juna pool gate (Camp)
4. Pune station to Lakadi Pool (Deccan)
The Fare charges were 1-Anna (6 paisa) per mile. But later on it was converted
into Rupees and kilometers in the year 1959.Tea allowance o f 2- Anna’ s i.e. (12
paisa) paid to the staff. In the beginning the bus tickets resembled the tickets o f
Cinema Theater of those days. But these tickets were misused. Hence colored tickets
red. blue, yellow and green costing 1, 2, 3 and 4 ‘aanas' were introduced. In the first 7
to 8 years the total sale o f tickets rose from ? 24.00,000 to 88,00.000 and the
company earned sufficient profit. During this period some drawbacks were identified
in the working of the Silver Jubilee company such as inadequacy of buses, use of only
one door, incorrect seating arrangement, misbehavior with civilians and non
availability of glass for windows due to which water was directly coming in the buses
during rainy season.
In 1948-49 Silver Jubilee Company faced many difficulties in its service.
Due to war prone situation there was lack of petrol and diesel. Similarly the parts of
buses like tiers, tubes also became scare which created difficulties in repair and
74 maintenance of the buses. At the same time workers also started demanding the increase in salary, dearness allowance and other facilities. In this situation the company was permitted only a year permission to run the bus service. Due to all these problems the Silver Jubilee Company informed the government that it had no more interest in the bus service and it will discontinue its bus service from February
1950 onwards, when the period of a year's contract came to an end. The silver Jubliee
Motor CO. informed the (jovernment about their non continuance o f the Bus Service on the expiry o f their permits (i.e.uptol950). By that time, the Pune Nagarpalika was formed into a corporation as Pune Muncipal Corporation which was established on
15th Feb. 1950. Pune Municipality became Pune Municipal Corporation and started its own bus service on 1^‘ March 1950. It was named Pune Municipal fransport
(PMT). At the beginning with a loan o f? 15.00.000, PMT purchased 22 old buses t'rom the Silver Jubilee company and 35 new Sheverlate buses by raising a loan of ?15 lakh. It retained and employed most o f the workers working in Silver Jubilee
Company previously. These buses were running on 14 routes only. Initially, the buses were of small size with a seating capacity of only 14 and no standees were allowed.
Gradually it was converted to 22. In the year 1950- ordinary fare of 5 paisa was charged. Luxury Buses were introduced for site seeing purpose by charging ? 2 per adult and ? I for less than 12 years, as fare, fhen in the year 1960 more buses were added to the fleet bringing the total number of buses to 135. Till 1951, standees were not allowed in the buses, but later on permission was obtained from the Govt, for allowing standees.
The development of Pune and PMT took place simultaneously. In July 1961. the
Panshet and Khadakwasla Dam tragedy endangered Pune city and the people residing on the Mula Mutha banks had to be rehabilitated in places away from the river banks."
This lead to development o f settlements away from the main city. After the flood in the year 1961, tremendous growth in development of the city was happened because of availability of transport services. Moreover industrialization, economic growth, sport activities, educational and financial facilities available in Pune urbanization took place at a rapid rate. Gradually the PM l tleet became bigger and bigger as the population increased. Because of increasing demand from the citizen Pimpari-
Chichwad Municipal Transport (PCMT) was formed on 4"’ March 1977.Gradually the number of commuters and buses increased. Before 2007 PMT and PCMT were
75 separate transport undertakings, there was intense competition on starting of new
routes in their respective areas and overlapping of routes where buses of the two
undertakings plied needlessly on some routes. Hence it was decided to merge these
two companies.
On 19 ‘'' October 2007 both the organizations have merged and Pune Mahanagar
Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd. (PMPML) came in to existence. The company was
formed after the state urban development department issued a government resolution
(GR) on April 19, 2007. fhe recommendation for the merger o f the PMT and the
PCMT was made by the Supreme Court-appointed Bhure l.al committee and the
Pune-based Central Institute of Road Transport. The merger came about after many
hurdles including delays in approval of the proposals by the two municipal
corporations. PMPML was formed to reduce unhealthy competition between PMT
and PCMT and to strengthen urban public transport, but instead of positive changes
the situation has worsened.
Pune is considered to be an educational and cultural center of Maharashtra. It is a well known historical place. It is surrounded by forts, rivers, gardens, greeneries, etc.
It is well known for education, a military center. Religious functions, cultural activity, dramas, and movie theaters and so on. now it is becoming l.T. city. B.R.T. city where people like to live and enjoy. It had changed its profile to an industrial city in the late
1970's. The proximity of Pune to Mumbai and the availability of infrastructure facilities, existences of transport and communication services and also the presences of skilled and unskilled man power attached a large number of industries to this region especially after a ban was imposed on Mumbai's further industrial expansion in 1960.
Rxcept a few major industries which has been set up on the eastern side of Pune city most o f the industries developed around the Pune Mumbai highway north o f Kirkee cantonment in the vicinity of Pimpri-Chichwad. The process of migration of people from different parts o f the country as well as from the neighboring areas also continued because of employment opportunities created by rapid industrialization. PMPML has a lion’s share in the development o f Pune. Together with the development o f Pune, certain changes have been introduced in PMPML such as construction of new bus stops, starting of new bus routes and improvement in buses etc.
i’ M PM L is the main public transport organization in Pune and Pimpari-
Chinchwad city. It provides its Bus Service to the citizens o f Pune and plays a vital role in providing affordable and convenient Public Transport Service that helps the
76 people to reach any nook and corner in and around PMC and PCM C area. It is useful for different groups of people lii PMPML bus facility is available while selecting their houses to settle down. Every effort is made by PM PM L to serve the people and match their goal. 4.2 Authorities of PMPML The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has 60% share in PMPML and Pmpri- Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has the remaining 40% share.
