Pune
GOING
AROUND IN PUNE
Road:
The government run bus transport system is well developed and
the buses are well maintained. Taxicabs are not common but taxi-autorickshaws
are found everywhere. The Pune autorickshaw drivers don't haggle
or ask for more, unlike in many other Indian cities. Larger
sized autorickshaws seating six are competing (successfully)
with buses and they are quite inexpensive.
Rail
Travel: There are three main
railway stations in Pune, all on the same east-west line. The
main one is Pune. Shivaji Nagar and Khadki are the other ones.
Shuttle services (electric motorised units) run every hour between
Pune and Lonavla to the west, towards Mumbai, serving the needs
of industrial suburbs like Pimpri, Chinchwad and Dehu Road.
Towards the east, people regularly commute up to Uruli by 4
shuttles a day.
