PUNE: The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has denied a request to increase bus connectivity to the Pune airport “At present, the PMPML operates two air-conditioned buses from Pune airport to Hinjewadi Phase-3 and back. Once these buses are added, the airport bus connectivity can be strengthened,” a PMPML official said.The transport body runs 10 AC buses on select routes. “We have seen that AC buses are popular in areas like Hinjewadi, Hadapsar and Vadgaonsheri, which are IT hubs,” an official said. PMPML was to procure more AC buses, but that tender was scrapped. Now a fresh tender has been floated to acquire 550 new buses, including 150 AC electric buses..
