Dear Sirs,Madams,

अकार्यक्षम ,नियोजनश्युन्य भ्रष्ट कारभारावर पांघरूण घालण्यासाठीचा, बस भाडेवाढीचा, प्रशासनाचा प्रस्ताव फेटाळून लावा प्रवासी संख्येत मोठी वाढ होण्यासाठी बस प्रवासाच्या सर्व प्रकारच्या पासचे दर ५०% कमी करा !

PMPML is the only public transport for Pune & Pimpri Chinchwad's 60 lakhs citizens. It is far from satisfactory. This is the main reason for draconian growth of private auto vehicles in twin metros.
The bus service is inefficient, unsafe, unreliable and one of the costliest. In most of the city trips the 2/3/4 wheeler vehicle travel cost comes much cheaper than the bus fare, even by auto rikshaw also it becomes cheaper than bus fare.e.g., even for half to one km travel per head bus fare is Rs 10. By 2 wheelers it comes to Rs.1 ( 2 for 2 persons) for a km, Rs 6 for Auto(Rs 17/3),  by car Rs 4 to Rs 5 per km ( Rs 80/ 20 or Rs 80/16).
Whenever diesel rares increase PMPML Admin is very prompt to increase bus fare; now that diesel rates reduced by more than Rs 7 recently and further likely to reduce, not only bus fare not being reduced but
On top of it PMPML Admin is proposing to hike bus fare.Which is unwarranted, unfair, unjust and self defeating.
There are many ways of increasing revenue and cutting costs; without any attempt in this regard, PMPML Admin's proposal to hike fare is just to cover its inefficiency,lack of planning and corruption. Its bound to prove self defeating and suicidal by further reducing commuters, in turn reducing revenue, add more vehicles on already heavily congested roads and add more pollution,accidents etc.

As such you are requested and urged strongly to OUTRIGHT REJECT Bus Fare Hike Proposal and sanction reduction in All types Bus passes rates by 50 %.
The letter in marathi with all reasoning of our demand is attached herewith.
Awaiting positive response.
