Good news for Pune residents! BRTS service on Swargate-Katraj route to continue from 2021. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is good to go to continue the Bus Rapid Transit System administration on the 5.4 kilometer long course from January 1 onwards, four years after it ceased the pilot BRTS course from Swargate to Katraj on Pune-Satara street for the advancement of two flyovers and trams.
