PMPML introduces bus rentals for events and trips with 25% weekend discount – Check details here

In a proactive move aimed at curbing pollution and promoting public transportation, the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has launched a special discount program for weekend travelers organizing group outings or events. Effective immediately, residents of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad can now enjoy a 25% discount on PMPML buses hired for special occasions on Saturdays and Sundays.

The initiative is geared towards attracting more weekend commuters to opt for the public transport system, ultimately easing traffic congestion and lowering pollution levels in both cities. Weekends often see a surge in leisure activities, and this discount is expected to sway citizens towards eco-friendly and economical public buses, reducing reliance on private vehicles.

PMPML's occasional contract bus service, accommodating both personal and public events based on demand, is now more accessible through this discount program. The rates for the contract bus service, featuring environmentally-friendly air-conditioned e-buses and CNG buses, are as follows:
