The Pedestrians’ safety campaign: पाऊल पुढे? – हात समोर! completes Phase 2!
Our focus areas
Walking safely is our fundamental right and we shall protect it!
A very strong bus system is essential for solving Pune’s transportation problems.
Pune must be able to cycle safely – to school, college, work!
Road safety spans across everything. All modes, all stakeholders – Government, citizens!
Empowering people to become vigilant, aware citizens
'Walk-bus-cycle'
A city must have an inclusive, sustainable and safe transportation system. If children, women, senior citizens and the poorer sections can use a system, everyone else can! A system based on walking, public transportation and cycling can be used by people of all ages, genders, physical and financial abilities.
In ‘public transportation’, the Metro is expected to carry only about 5-7% of Pune’s trips even with a 100 km network. Therefore the basic bus system must be so strong that it can carry at least 25% trips (from today’s 10%), if Pune is to achieve its transportation objectives. We therefore give highest priority to the bus.
Hence ‘Walk-Bus-Cycle’. The White Blood Cells that can keep our city healthy.
