Since last four years I am using PMT to go here and there in Pune. But the experience which I am going to write down here is the worst I ever had and was no more less than an adventure. My day ended up in total frustration after having such a bad experience.
My company location is Next to Ruby Hall and my flat is at located at Niljyoti. So while returning from company in the evening I usually take two PMTs i.e. from Ruby hall to Sadhu Vasvani Chowk and from Sadhu Vasvani to Niljyoti. It usually takes 30-45 min.
But today was something different. Due to Dahi Handi the bus from Pune Station to Niljyoti was cancelled and obviously I was unaware of the fact because it's really funny to expect such prior notice from PMT authorities about the same.
So this is how my journey happened
(Figures in bracket indicate fare)
- Ruby Hall to Sadhu Vasvani Chowk (5)
- Waited for almost 60 min at Sadhu Vasvani Chowk for Niljyoti bus but couldn't get one so decided to go to sasoon stop and inquire about the same.
- Sadhu Vasvani to sassoon (4) (Didn't get ticket too!)
- At Sassoon got to know that due to Dahi Handi most of the buses including Niljyoti were canceled.
- Again waited for 15 min at Sassoon for Aundh bus but couldn't get it too so decided to go to Corporation.
- Sassoon to Corporation (7)
- After 5-10 minutes waiting got Balewadi bus at Corporation
- Corporation to Range Hills (7)
- From Range hills no auto-rickshaw wala was ready to drop me to my flat. Almost 4 of them said straight NO then finally one auto wala got ready.
- Range Hills to Kusalkar Chowk (23) by auto.
- Kusalkar Chowk to My Flat (walking almost 1.5 km).

For this delightful journey my special thanks to : PMT, Dahi Handi, My flat location, Hero Honda*, Auto Wala.
* : due to the pathetic service of PMT I have already booked a bike of Hero Honda and it's on waiting. Each time I call them they just extend the date of delivery :(
