Panvel Municipality Plans Bus Service Amidst Growing Transport Needs
The Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) is planning to start its own bus service to help people get around.
They're going to hire a company to figure out where the buses should go, how many people will ride them, and if it's a good idea overall.
The PMC covers a large area, including new housing developments, so there's a growing need for public transport.
Local officials have been asking for this bus service for a long time, and now it looks like it might finally happen.
The survey will help decide how the bus service will work.
Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) is planning to launch its own public transport service.
An agency will be appointed to conduct a survey for the bus service.
Tender proposals for the survey agency are expected soon.
The PMC jurisdiction spans over 200 km, including areas like CIDCO and NAINA.
Local representatives have advocated for the bus service for the past eight years.
