Sustainable resources and solutions

Reduce pollution

Pune City is very rich in its culture and heritage. It is surrounded by beautiful hills and a RIVERs – the source of live for any civilization to settle passes through the city. With changing time and urbanization the city has and needs to transform. The increasing population and expanding PMC boundaries the City needs some smart solutions to deal with it.

1. Efficient Public Transport – Sky Bus along the river line

2. Sustainable Energy System – wind and solar

We have a beautiful life line our River flowing across the City. If we use this channel to have Sky busses along the river right from Warje to Kharadi this will help improve connectivity and reduce traffic problems as efficient Public transport will help reduce private vehicles on the Road reducing pollution too.

·         By using the space along the River there will be no problem of any land acquisition as this land belongs to the PMC and can be utilized efficiently.

·         As the sky bus infrastructure can be raised far above the flood line level of the river, this will not hamper its service even during the rainy season when the river flows full.

·         People can avail the sky bus facility by use of smart pune citizen card, which will be like a debit card for using the sky bus and any other public transport city facility.

·         There will be shuttle bus services available from Point to Point from Sky Bus Stops. Thus networking in such a way that it connects the whole city efficiently with the sky bus route and creates an efficient public transport system.

·         These shuttle buses will work on electricity or Bio Diesel or fuel that is less pollutant.

·         Also along the river front one side can be used for building sky bus infrastructure while the other side can be utilize to have wind mill farms and solar farms to Generate energy. Hence making the whole transport system generating its own electricity and becoming self sustainable in itself.

·         Even this other side can be made greener by increasing plantation and making efficient public spaces and becoming the life line of the city again.
