Through Save Pune Traffic Movement (SPTM), campaigns for safer and better walking, public transport, cycling facilities.

This is sooo wonderful! Yes indeed, we should understand that when we yield to buses, we are allowing 50 people reach their destinations faster. I am going to do it from right now.

Introducing #BusFirst A new campaign by MTC Chennai, launched to encourage everyone to give way to buses, because giving way to buses is giving way to people. Our brand ambassador @MDThirush_16 explains why this campaign is important for Chennai’s everyday commuters. #MTCChennai



Yes, #votefortekdi #voteforbus indeed! Vote only for candidates/parties that very clearly want to strengthen PMPML!

#votefortekdi #voteforbus Cast your vote for a candidate who can assure good bus service. Vote wisely, ride comfortably. @mohol_murlidhar @ChDadaPatil @SidShirole @Medha_kulkarni @navalMH Please ensure PMC's **huge** support to PMPML for an efficient bus service in Pune.



#votefortekdi #voteforbus @mohol_murlidhar @ChDadaPatil @SidShirole @Medha_kulkarni @navalMH पीएमपीएमएलकडे आजच ५००० बस हव्यात, पण फक्त २००० आहेत. येत्या ५ वर्षांत हे साध्य करणार का? की फक्त उड्डाणपूल आणि तत्सम रस्ते बांधून खाजगी वाहनांना उत्तेजन देत बसणार?

Punekars please vote wisely in the PMC elections! Ask your candidate whether they agree with Vijay or Ravi 🙃 Do we need more flyovers, underpasses, elevated roads, especially those like the Balbharati road that comes at the cost of our precious green spaces?  Or do we need a…

#votefortekdi #VoteForBus Pune's approved Comprehensive Mobility Plan had a target of 55 buses/ lakh population. That's a Government benchmark. #Pune had 30 buses for a lakh population in 2010- Forget about increasing that number, we have actually slipped to 24! Had @PMCPune

For all those who say to us - "you are always against roads and tunnels through the tekdi, how are we to move in the city???" Listen! PMC has always been so stingy when it comes to spending on building @PMPMLPune and increasing buses, but when it comes to a Rs 300+crore on a…


"तरीही त्रांगडे न सुटण्याची भीती" म्हणजे काय? ६ मजली पूल बांधायला हवा होता असं काहीतरी म्हणाले नाहीत म्हणजे झालं! 🤦🤦😉 हो, "ठोस उपाययोजना" हव्यातच. खाजगी वाहनं रस्त्यावर कमीतकमी येतील ह्यासाठी खर्‍या, दूरगामी उपाययोजना हव्यात.

Good to see even industrialists saying the same things! * Design for moving people, not for moving vehicles. * Have ’लाख को पचास’ buses * Build '15-minute' cities. * Design '8 to 80' cities.

I will admit this openly not too long ago, I was one of those who thought protests against every new infrastructure project were just ugichach resistance by the “environmentalists” type. Pune, I believed, needed stronger infrastructure to match its growing population….People…

बीआरटीचे हे फायदे @PMCPune आणि @PuneCityTraffic ह्यांना माहीत आहेत का पण? 'बिचार्‍या' कार / दुचाकी स्वतःच निर्माण केलेल्या वाहतूक कोंडीत अडकल्या की बीआरटी काढायची एवढंच त्यांना माहीत आहे 🤦🏽

🛣️ वाहतूक कोंडीला ‘ब्रेक’ – बीआरटीने प्रवास ‘स्मार्ट’! 🚌⏱️ पुणे शहराच्या गतिमान जीवनशैलीला गती देण्यासाठी, पीएमपीएमएलने प्रवाशांसाठी समर्पित बीआरटी लेनची सुविधा उपलब्ध करून दिली आहे. या विशेष मार्गामुळे: ✅ वेळेची बचत ✅ कोंडीत न अडकता आरामदायक प्रवास ✅ प्रदूषणात घट

पुणे शहराच्या गतिमान जीवनशैलीला गती देण्यासाठी, पीएमपीएमएलने प्रवाशांसाठी समर्पित बीआरटी लेनची सुविधा उपलब्ध करून दिली आहे. या विशेष मार्गामुळे:

✅ वेळेची बचत
✅ कोंडीत न अडकता आरामदायक प्रवास
✅ प्रदूषणात घट


सिग्नल फ्री नगर रोड म्हणजे "वाहनांना आवश्यक त्या सुविधा ताबडतोब केल्या आहेत. आता जा सुसाट! पादचार्‍यांचं बघू सावकाश. बोंबलतील जरा... अजून काय करतील?"

नगररोडवर पादचार्‍यांसाठी उपाययोजना करणार आहोत असं वाहतूक पोलीस अधिकारी म्हणाले. ते झाल्यावरच रस्ता सिग्नल फ्री करा की! तोवर लोकांनी रस्ता कसा ओलांडायचा? म्हणजे पाहुण्यांना जेवायला बोलावलंय, पण अजून कांदे-बटाटे आणायचेत! वाहतूक पोलिसांचं प्राधान्य वाहनांना आहे, पादचार्‍यांना नाही.

PEOPLE CAN'T CROSS NAGAR ROAD! @PuneCityTraffic has recently made Nagar Road 'signal free'. As a result, people cannot cross the road safely! No, this mush be changed. Vehicles' convenience must NEVER be at the cost of pedestrians!


Oh, pedestrians are a part of your planning, @PuneCityTraffic ? मग लोकांना नगर रस्त्यासारखा प्रचंड रस्ता ओलांडायला सोपं व्हावं म्हणून तुम्ही काय करताय?

In case you are worried that 'signal free' Nagar Road will make it difficult to cross the road, worry no more. Pedestrians are also a part of their planning. (But don't ask us what it means!) @PuneCityTraffic - Can you explain what planning you are doing for pedestrians there?

Sick of congestion and pollution? "All must be able to travel without being compelled to use cars & 2wh". Yes, we need a 'Walk-Bus-Cycle' city! Agreed? Then at the very least, join hands with like-minded people. Join the 'Walk Bus Cycle' FB grp! facebook.com/groups/walkbus…

43°C in Pune, which used to be known as a ‘hill station’. And not too long time ago, the city didn’t even need ceiling fans. And let us not blame everything on climate change. Destroying city’s natural resources — trees, hills, rivers — for ‘development’ has an imp role to play.

We must protect our natural heritage at any cost! No concrete on hillslopes, through hills and on riverbanks. नाही, नहीं, no, nicht.

पुण्याच्या रस्त्यांची ’वाहने’ वाहून न्यायची क्षमता केव्हाच संपली आहे. रस्ते तर अजून रुंद होऊ शकत नाहीत. पण हेच रस्ते अजूनही अनेक ’माणसे’ वाहून नेऊ शकतात - कारण एक बस तेवढ्याच जागेत पाचपट माणसं वाहून नेते! त्यासाठी PMPML ला आजच हव्यात किमान ५००० बसेस. @CPPuneCity @PuneCityTraffic

रस्त्याच्या उजव्या बाजूने चाला, लोकहो! वाहनं समोरून येऊ द्यात, मागून नाही - भरकटलेल्या वाहनापासून स्वत:ला वाचवायला पाव सेकंद जास्त मिळाला तरी तुमचा जीव वाचू शकतो!

#pedestrianssafety #roadsafety That's how people answered this Q on Pedestrians' Day. 55% people said it's safer to walk on left = with vehicles coming from behind! Shows how tough the task in front of NGOs like us is... Right is right, folks! Face the vehicles while walking!
