The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) appears to be working without proper planning and direction as its three core managerial posts, in human resources (HR), finance and traffic management, have been vacant for the past three years.

Passengers using PMPML services have been criticising the body for limited number of buses and staff, and claim it has bad infrastructure and poor route management. These issues are the side effects of the core problem, which is the absence of proper direction.
