Joint Inspection Of Swargate Bus Station By PMPML And MahaMetro Officials To Enhance Passenger Experience
On October 28, 2024, a joint inspection of the Swargate Bus Station was conducted by officials from Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) and MahaMetro. The inspection aimed to ensure that passengers commuting through the Swargate Bus Station face no inconveniences, and that bus operations run smoothly.
The inspection team included Deepa Mudhol-Munde, Chairperson and Managing Director of PMPML; Apoorv Jindal, System Engineer of MahaMetro; Project Manager Govind Kadam; and Advisor Dattatray Mane from MahaMetro. They were accompanied by PMPML’s Chief Transport Manager (Operations) Satish Gawane, Head of Headquarters Sameer Attar, and the staff responsible for the Swargate Bus Station.
During the inspection, Deepa Mudhol-Munde reviewed the operations of buses arriving and departing from the station. To address the challenges faced by passengers and bus services, she made the following recommendations:
1. Until the new Swargate bus station is developed by MahaMetro, temporary bus shelters should be erected for passengers near the entrance of MahaMetro, extending to the continuous police booth.
2. All encroachments near the entrance of Swargate Metro Station should be promptly removed to ensure smooth bus operations within the Swargate bus station area.
3. Facilities for restrooms should be made available immediately for both PMPML staff and passengers in the Swargate bus station area.
Mudhol-Munde emphasized that both PMPML and MahaMetro services complement each other and urged officials from both organizations to work together to provide reliable and quality services to passengers.
