Citylinc bus service gets excellence award | Nashik News – Times of India
NASHIK: The Citylinc bus service, launched this July by the Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd (NMPML), has been conferred an award for excellence in public transport.
Nashik municipal commissioner Kailas Jadhav received the award from Union minister of housing and urban affairs Hardeep Singh Puri at a function in Delhi recently.
NMPML currently operates 110 buses across 39 different routes in the city, and earns an average of Rs36 per km.
The service received a good response since launch, with over 20 lakh passengers travelling on the buses.
Jadhav, also the NMPML chairperson and managing director, said the award was a matter of pride for NMC.
“Our objective is to provide effective bus service to compel residents to use public transport,” he said.
NMC has introduced an Intelligent Transport Management System (ITMS) for commuters to track buses. NMC has also provided an online payment facility to buy tickets.
Puri, speaking at the event, said the technology has enabled real-time analysis of transport and traffic, and public sector agencies have now begun to encourage the use of public transportation through new mobility business models such as on-demand and multimodal trip-planning applications.
