Pune was the first city in India to experiment with a Bus Rapid Transit system. PMPML started plying pilot routes in December 2006. The project consists of 16.5 kilometres (10.3 mi) of bus lanes along the Pune Satara Road using airconditioned low-floor more than 500 Volvo B7RLE buses. Most of these buses are not in service currently and the bus lanes serve as major traffic impediments. The project is an exemplary failure and serves as a model of avoidable practices.
