If you’re planning to travel by private bus in Pune this Diwali, you might want to double-check your fare before boarding. The Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO) has been cracking down on violations by private bus operators, with 36 buses recently fined for various infractions.
The RTO’s inspections revealed a laundry list of violations, including expired fitness certificates, non-compliance with transport regulations, unauthorized cargo transportation, and driver identification issues. These findings have prompted the RTO to continue monitoring private bus services through random checks until November 5.
In response to complaints about fare hikes, the RTO has urged travel operators to adhere to regulated fare structures and avoid overcharging passengers during the festive season. By actively enforcing transport guidelines, the RTO is working to ensure safe and fair travel conditions for passengers in Pune.
So, if you’re hitting the road this Diwali, make sure you’re not being taken for a ride by private bus operators. Stay informed, stay safe, and happy travels!
