Hey there, Pune peeps! Big news coming your way – the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is making moves to make student life a whole lot easier. That’s right, they’ve announced that students in the upcoming academic year 2024/25 will be getting 100% subsidized bus passes. How cool is that?
So, here’s the lowdown. If you’re in 5th to 12th grade and attending a PMC school, you’re in luck. You’ll be getting a free bus pass to get around the city. And even if you go to a private school under the PMC’s jurisdiction, you’ll still be getting a sweet 75% discount on your bus pass. Say goodbye to those hefty transportation costs!
Now, let’s talk about the unsung heroes behind this initiative – the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd. (PMPML). These guys are the ones making sure that students can get to school without breaking the bank. They’re all about promoting inclusive and sustainable transportation solutions for everyone in Pune.
The application process is pretty straightforward. For students in PMC schools, forms will be submitted to PMPML starting from June 12th. And for students in private schools, there’s a verification process in place. Once that’s done, students can pick up their subsidized passes from nearby bus depots. Easy peasy, right?
Now, let’s talk numbers. A monthly pass will set you back Rs. 750, a quarterly pass is Rs. 2,000, a six-month pass is Rs. 3,000, and a yearly pass is Rs. 5,000. That’s some serious savings for students, giving them more freedom to explore the city and get to where they need to be.
So, to all the students out there – make sure you get in on this awesome initiative. It’s all about making your life easier and more affordable. Thanks, PMC and PMPML, for looking out for the students of Pune!
