Less advertisements, frequent breakdowns may have stopped Puneites from taking PMPML bus rides, leading to a loss of ₹204 crore

The civic bus provider Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd (PMPML) has registered a loss of Rs 204 crore in the current fiscal year. The turbulent phase for the PMPML with increasing number of breakdown per day does not appear to be mitigating any sooner with new problems arriving before the department.
