PUNE: Drivers and conductors of buses belonging to the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) will now must shell out for all the traffic police-imposed “incorrect parking” fines from their very own pockets. The PMPML has made up our minds to get well the positive amounts from the drivers/conductors.
The transfer comes after the traffic police, on November 19, imposed a positive of Rs 5,000 at the shipping frame when they discovered buses parked haphazardly in front of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) administrative center.
All PMPML drivers and those employed by non-public bus contractors have been steered to park the buses on the right spots or else face action in the type of heavy fines.
“The police had fastened jammers on 48 buses. According to them, the buses were not parked in the right method and led to primary traffic issues. The PMPML has now made up our minds that the drivers or conductors, who park the buses in a incorrect method, can pay the levied fines. Earlier if the traffic police imposed a positive, the PMC used to pay for it. But now, as the Pune Metro construction paintings has narrowed the road-width in numerous parts of the town, the situation has modified,” a senior PMPML professional told TOI.
“In the November 19 case, the positive used to be imposed on two buses, whilst the rest had been let off with warnings. We have identified both the drivers who had parked wrongly. The positive should be paid by them. Earlier, the police didn't in most cases levy fines on our buses as PMPML is an very important carrier and preventing a bus ends up in many passengers suffering inconvenience,” the professional mentioned.
On any given day, there are just about 1,400 buses working on Pune roads — making, on a median, shut of 18,000 journeys. “The drivers and conductors must ensure that their buses are parked properly. The stretch from Congress Bhavan till the beginning of the Dengle bridge may be very chaotic. Many buses wouldn't have area to park in the depot. While that issue is being appeared into, the drivers have been told that if fined, they'll must pay the amount themselves. This will act as a deterrent and the drivers will likely be cautious,” the professional mentioned.
