The initiation of the metro feeder bus service by PMPML is designed to enhance the convenience of commuters travelling to the metro stations. While introducing this service, PMPML is encouraging commuters to utilize these metro feeder bus services for their convenience. The transportation authority has also expressed its willingness to expand the number of buses on these routes if there is an increase in passenger numbers and revenue.

The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) plays a crucial role in the transportation network of Pune, connecting not only the cities of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad but also reaching rural areas. While the metro service is gradually gaining traction in Pune, incomplete metro works and limited connectivity prompted the introduction of this feeder bus service by PMPML. Recognizing the growing population and increasing traffic challenges in Pune, the hope is that encouraging the use of public transport services will significantly alleviate these issues.
