The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Pune has launched the Bus Mitra Campaign in Pune city to tackle the ever-growing issue of traffic congestion. Buses are meant to be a solution for congestion, but they often contribute to it due to their frequent stops in the middle of the road. This behaviour results in passengers waiting on the road instead of at bus shelters, leading to a cascade of traffic issues. Private vehicles and rickshaws only make matters worse by parking near bus stops.
The Bus Mitra Campaign, kicking off on October 18, will have volunteers stationed at bus stops all over the city. They will guide the buses to stop at the designated areas and also urge passengers to use the bus shelters. Furthermore, they will request private vehicles and rickshaws to park away from the bus stops, providing the buses with a clear path.
The ultimate goal of the campaign is to alter the mindset and culture surrounding bus travel and traffic habits in Pune. The campaign will run for six months, and AAP Pune is calling on citizens and the media to help raise awareness and keep the initiative going. They are also looking for volunteers who are willing to become "bus mitras" and further the reach of the campaign.
It is only through initiatives such as the Bus Mitra Campaign that we can hope to create a safe, efficient, and comfortable travel experience for everyone in Pune. Let us hope that this campaign brings us one step closer to a better and smoother traffic situation in the city.
