The city of Pune was the first in India to experiment with a Bus Rapid Transit system. PMPML started plying pilot routes in December 2006. The project consists 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. The project has achieved success to a certain extent. The funding for the project comes from the Government of India under the Jawaharlala Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. Total of 112 kilometres (70 mi) route is proposed for Pune BRTS.However the project has failed to grab eyeballs of citizens and officials are visiting to Ahmedabad BRTS Project which is extremely popular as well as successful.
