Transport in Pune

Pune is a city in the state of Maharashtra in India. It is situated in western Maharashtra on the Deccan Plateau. Pune's public transport consists primarily of a bus service, a suburban rail service, metro, public taxis and auto rickshaws. In 2020 it was awarded the Sustainable Transport Award.

Pune is well-connected to rest of the country by national highways and state highways. National highways passing through the city are NH 48, NH 65 and NH 60. State highways passing through the city are MSH 27. The Mumbai Pune Expressway, India's first six-lane expressway, was built in 2002, and significantly reduces the distance traveled by NH 48 between these cities.

Ring roads are being planned around the city.

Public buses within the city and its suburbs are operated by the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML). The PMPML operates the Rainbow Bus Rapid Transit System system, the first in India, in which dedicated bus lanes exists to allow buses to travel quicker through the city. Pune is the first city in India to adopt Electric Buses and the first city in India to have an Electric Bus Depot at Bhekrainagar, Hadapsar. PMPML has 13 bus depots in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad

Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) runs buses, popularly known as ST (State Transport), from its three main bus stations in Shivajinagar, Pune Station and Swargate to all major cities and towns in Maharashtra and neighbouring states. Private companies too run buses to major cities throughout India.
