“No Ticket from Any Party? PMP Has Your Bus Ticket!” – PMPML’s Humorous Election Campaign
Pune, 5th January 2026: In a creative twist on election-season messaging, the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mandal (PMPML) has launched a witty public awareness campaign encouraging citizens to embrace public transport. Drawing playful parallels with political ticket distribution, the campaign reassures commuters: “No ticket from any party? Don’t worry, PMP has your bus ticket!”
The initiative highlights convenience and stress-free travel, emphasizing the online availability of PMPML bus tickets and eliminating the need for long queues. Catchy slogans such as “No political ticket, but the bus ticket is guaranteed,” “No need for votes, just a ticket is enough,” and “No change of party… only change of stops” have been circulated to underline the importance of public transport in daily life.
Speaking about the campaign, PMPML Chairman and Managing Director Pankaj Devre said:
“While the political season often brings chaos over party tickets and voter unrest, we wanted to focus on issues that directly affect citizens’ daily lives. Our message is simple: timely buses, comfortable travel, and reduced stress. Using public transport helps ease traffic congestion and supports environmentally friendly travel.”
The campaign has garnered attention on social media for its uniquely “Pune-style” humor, striking a chord with commuters and voters alike. By combining lighthearted messaging with a practical call to action, PMPML aims to reduce private vehicle usage, ease traffic congestion, and strengthen the role of public transport in the city’s sustainable mobility strategy.
