Pune was the first city in India to experiment with a Bus Rapid Transit system. PMPML started plying pilot routes in December 2006. Rainbow BRT is the new bus rapid transit system now operational in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. Rainbow BRT is being developed as a high quality, customer-oriented public bus transport service. It is managed by Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd and developed with the support of Pune Municipal Corporation and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation. Pune Traffic Police is providing the support for management of traffic. The Sangamwadi-Vishrantwadi Corridor in Pune was launched on 30 August 2015 and the Sangvi – Kiwale Corridor in Pimpri Chinchwad was launched on 5 September 2015. The features of Rainbow BRT include *Buses - Over 600 special Rainbow BRT buses with doors on both sides and more standing space, that ply smoothly and rapidly in reserved lanes *Bus stations in the BRT Lanes - Covered and provide protection from rain and sun, well lit, have a ramp at the entrance and signage boards with information about the BRT corridors *Tickets at stations - The ticket is to be bought at the ticket counter inside the station before boarding the bus. Smart Cards are proposed in the next phase. *Level Boarding - The height of the bus platform and the BRT station platform are at thDoors and Bus Interfacee same level. Passengers do not have to climb steps to board the bus, a feature similar to metro rail. *Automatic Doors - Automatic doors on BRT stations and bus doors open only when the bus is properly docked at the station *Crossings - The crossings from the footpath to the BRT stations have signals in many locations or have speed tables so that vehicles have to slow down to allow passengers to cross safely. *Bus Numbers, Bus Arrival and Station Information - Information on bus arrivals is displayed on screens at the bus stations. Display screens and audio announcements in buses give information about the next stop. Route numbers appear on LED displays on the front, back and the left side of buses *Intelligent Transit Management System - BRT Buses have GPS and all buses and stations are linked with the BRTS Control Room at Swargate which tracks bus movement and gives feedback to drivers to improve service. *Security and Traffic Management - Security personnel are present at each BRT bus station. Traffic Wardens are present at signals and crossings to help in the management of other traffic and prevent entry into dedicated bus lanes. The Hadapsar-Katraj pilot project consisted of of bus lanes along the Pune Satara Road using airconditioned, low-floor more than 500 Volvo B7RLE buses initially on Katraj - Swargate - Hadapsar. Most of these buses are not in service currently. The funding for the project came from the Government of India under the Jawaharlala Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission. Total of route was proposed for Pune BRTS. Now regular PMPML buses ply on the Hadapsar-Katraj corridor of BRTS. This system was merged with Pimpri-Chinchwad BRTS to form Rainbow BRTS which is currently under construction. ==Routes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pune Bus Rapid Transit」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
