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. Most of these buses are not in service currently, and the bus lanes serve as major traffic impediments. The project is an exemplary failure and serves as a model of avoidable practices. The funding for the project came from the Government of India under the Jawaharlala Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. Total of 112 kilometres (70 mi) route was proposed for Pune BRTS. The project has justifiably failed to grab eyeballs of citizens and officials are visiting Ahmedabad BRTS Project which is extremely popular as well as successful.
