    Bus Rapid Transit system

    Pune was the first city in India to experiment with a Bus Rapid Transit system. PMPML
    started plying pilot routes in December 2006.

    Rainbow BRT is the new bus rapid transit system now operational in Pune and Pimpri
    Chinchwad. Rainbow BRT is being developed as a high quality, customer-oriented
    public bus transport service. It is managed by Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal
    Ltd and developed with the support of Pune Municipal Corporation and Pimpri
    Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. Pune Traffic Police is providing the support for
    management of traffic.
    The Sangamwadi-Vishrantwadi Corridor in Pune was launched on 30 August 2015 and
    the Sangvi Kiwale Corridor in Pimpri Chinchwad was launched on 5 September 2015.
    The features of Rainbow BRT include
    Buses - Over 600 special Rainbow BRT buses with doors on both sides and more
    standing space, that ply smoothly and rapidly in reserved lanesBus stations in the BRT
    Lanes - Covered and provide protection from rain and sun, well lit, have a ramp at the
    entrance and signage boards with information about the BRT corridorsTickets at
    stations - The ticket is to be bought at the ticket counter inside the station before
    boarding the bus. Smart Cards are proposed in the next phase.(Alternate option of
    buying from bus conductor is also available.)Level Boarding - The height of the bus
    platform and the BRT station platform are at the Doors and Bus Interface same level.
    Passengers do not have to climb steps to board the bus, a feature similar to metro
    rail.Automatic Doors - Automatic doors on BRT stations and bus doors open only when

    the bus is properly docked at the stationCrossings - The crossings from the footpath to
    the BRT stations have signals in many locations or have speed tables so that vehicles
    have to slow down to allow passengers to cross safely.Bus Numbers, Bus Arrival and
    Station Information - Information on bus arrivals is displayed on screens at the bus
    stations. Display screens and audio announcements in buses give information about
    the next stop. Route numbers appear on LED displays on the front, back and the left
    side of busesIntelligent Transit Management System - BRT Buses have GPS and all
    buses and stations are linked with the BRTS Control Room at Swargate which tracks
    bus movement and gives feedback to drivers to improve service.Security and Traffic
    Management - Security personnel are present at each BRT bus station. Traffic Wardens
    are present at signals and crossings to help in the management of other traffic and
    prevent entry into dedicated bus lanes.
    The Hadapsar-Katraj pilot project consisted of 16.5 kilometres (10.3 mi) of bus lanes
    along the Pune Satara Road using airconditioned, low-floor more than 500 Volvo
    B7RLE buses initially on Katraj - Swargate - Hadapsar. Most of these buses are not in
    service currently. The funding for the project came from theGovernment of India under
    the Jawaharlala Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. Total of 112 kilometres (70 mi)
    route was proposed for Pune BRTS. Now regular PMPML buses ply on the HadapsarKatraj corridor of BRTS. This system was merged with Pimpri-Chinchwad BRTS to
    form Rainbow BRTSwhich is currently under construction.

    ROUTES :
    Completed
    Katraj - Swargate - Hadapsar. (Via Pune-Satara road, Shankarsheth road via Swargate
    Bus Station - 16.5 km)Vishrantwadi - Bombay sappers - Yerwada -Waholi Jakat
    Naka and Sadalbaba Jn - Patil Estate. (Total = 16 km)

    Kothrud - Vishrantwadi corridor.
    Dhayari - Hadapsar Gadital corridor.

    PMC has taken a lot of efforts to make this one a successful project. The pattern of the
    bus stops is different than Satara road bus stops. This pattern of bus stops does not
    create sharp turns on the other lanes like the Satara road BRTS rods
