Pune,India -The Punekar -13 Jan 2009: -- The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal (PMPML) will finally get 500 new buses in next two months with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) standing committee sanctioning Rs 96 crore for the purpose... Earlier, plans for better public transport were never implemented and Pune continued to have a fleet of old and ill-maintained buses, rendering public transport a nightmare on the city roads. PMC standing committee chairman Nilesh Nikam said money has been given to purchase the buses under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM). According to the proposal, he said, the PMPML will purchase 400 CNG-run semi low-floor buses and100 diesel-run low-floor buses... The total cost for the purchase of the buses is Rs 162 crore with financial assistance of Rs 81 crore from the Union government, Rs 32 crore from the state government and Rs 49 crore from the PMC...
