In a significant move to enhance safety and convenience for women commuters, Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) is expanding its women-only bus service from the current 14 to 33 routes starting tomorrow.

The decision comes in response to increasing demand and peak-hour congestion, supported by a data-driven analysis of travel patterns. The new routes have been strategically selected to connect key residential zones with commercial centers, educational institutions, and transport hubs.
