Pune: After initial hiccups, Nigdi-Dapodi BRTS gets on track, brings down travel time

Nearly two months after the Nigdi-Dapodi BRTS was started on the Pune-Mumbai Highway, it seems to be gaining acceptance among commuters. The BRTS has cut down the travel time on the stretch, where traffic jams had been a major issue for a long period. “After initial hiccups, all is well on the dedicated BRTS lane now,” said Vijay Bhojane, who heads the PCMC’s BRTS department. “There has been no mishap on the route. Initially, there were some breakdowns of buses but now we hardly receive such reports,” he said.
