PMPML to introduce e-cabs in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchwad

PUNE: The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has initiated an online survey with the aim to soon launch e-cabs for the citizens of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. The e-cabs will be cheaper than auto-rickshaws as well as Uber and Ola services, officials said. This may be the first time the public sector transport agency is considering adding air-conditioned e-cabs to their existing fleet.

Dattatreya Zende, traffic manager, PMPML, said, “This is a big project for us and as of now, we are conducting an online survey to find out what commuters’ needs are and how we can best fulfill them. A consultant from Ernst & Young is helping PMPML create this new service model.”
