Parisar has released its Cycle Track Audit Report (2024–25), a comprehensive assessment of Pune’s cycling infrastructure at a time when the city is gaining global visibility through the Pune Cycle Grand Challenge.

The audit covered 35 km of cycle tracks across 19 roads, divided into 77 segments of 500 metres each. The findings reveal significant gaps in safety, comfort, and continuity, showing that Pune is still far from meeting the standards envisioned in its 2017 Comprehensive Bicycle Plan (CBP).

The PMPML Dashboard has been conceptualised to capture various performance parameters of the city's public bus service.

PMPML has been consistently putting out a lot of important performance data like ridership, revenue breakdowns, etc., on a monthly basis. However, this monthly data becomes more valuable after analysis, giving trends and comparative insights on performance.

Ideally, such analysis could help inform decisions by the PMPML management. Apart from this, the dashboard could be useful for organisations working on mobility as well as journalists.

In a comprehensive report card prepared by Parisar, looking at 12 parameters under the 4 main parameters of comfort, convenience, affordability and reliability, PMPML scores a B grade. 

PMPML has regularly published monthly performance statistics on its website for the past many years. The report card was devised so that the performance information of PMPML, which is often technical, can be decoded to identify patterns and trends, and interpret it so that everyone finds it easy to understand.

Tanzeel Allapur, a sustainable mobility advocate and Project Associate at Parisar, presented her research on the mobility patterns and spatial knowledge of school children in Pune at the South Asia Cycles Conference. This prestigious event, held at the University of Chicago Delhi Centre in November 2024, provided a platform to showcase findings that hold critical implications for urban planning and child-friendly infrastructure design.
