Pune's traffic problems have increased dramatically as the city's road network has grown only 6 times while traffic has increased 105 times since 1960. Insufficient roads, poor traffic management, and inefficient public transportation have led to severe traffic issues. While cycle tracks and buses aim to help, Pune's public transportation system, PMPML, is overburdened and underperforming. There is an urgent need for mass rapid transit systems like metro and BRTS projects to provide reliable, comfortable, and affordable alternatives to private vehicles and address the city's commuting woes.
