First Transit, the United States city bus division of UK-based FirstGroup, is in discussions with Hinjewadi Techzone IT Park to operate employee shuttle buses at the park in Pune, India. The five-year contract begins in April with a small initial fleet, although bus numbers are expected to rise with expansion at both the Hinjewadi location and elsewhere in the country. First Transit will use its shuttle bus expertise from existing operations in North America and is working with Indian bus manufacturer Tata, which will maintain the vehicles. This is First Transit's first contract in the employee shuttle market in India, where an estimated 5,000 buses serve more than 20 similar IT parks served by an estimated 5,000 buses.
