Pune Municipal Transport (PMT), as it was named after the takeover, started with a fleet of 57 buses that plied on 14 routes.

9-meter CNG buses travel numerous roads, including city centers, and also provide transport to students of PMC schools.

Distant towns like Lonavala, Paud, Shirval, Jejuri, Yawat, Ranjangaon MIDC, Junnar, etc.

PMPML also provides a special electric bus service to Infosys employees commuting from Pune city and Pimpri-Chinchwad to the Hinjawadi IT hub and back.

[10] Some of these routes are partially or fully run on the BRT corridors under the brand name Rainbow BRTS.

PMPML offers daily, weekly, fortnightly, quarterly and annual traveling passes to make journeys convenient for its passengers.

Discounted passes are also there for elderly passengers, visually and physically challenged, reporters and freedom fighters.

[22][23] There have been disputes between the two civic bodies resulting in demands for dissolving the PMPML to form PMT and PCMT as they existed before 2007.

[24][25][26] PMPML is the sole public transport provider for the metropolitan area surrounding the twin cities of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad with a population of 5,057,709.

PMPML also has a number of buses that are owned and maintained by private contractors which also suffer poor maintenance.

Several NGOs and commuter groups suggested that PMPML should buy CNG buses instead.

[41][42] PMPML does not have sufficient bus depots which leads to as many as half of the buses being parked on the streets in 2015.

[43] The drivers have also been blamed for parking haphazardly leading to traffic snarls in the busy areas of the city.

[48][49][50] In 2017–18, several buses caught fire which has put a big question mark on the safety of commuters.
