What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get aroundThere is a massive army of three-wheeled rickshaws.
  • Get aroundSome prepaid rickshaw stands can be found at Shivajinagar, Swargate Bus Depot and Pune Airport.
  • Get aroundAll rickshaws plying in the Pune Municipal Corporation limits are supposed to charge according to the meter.
  • Get aroundIf they still refuse, walk away: there are plenty of other rickshaws on the roads.
  • Get aroundIn fact, drivers of rickshaws that you flag down from the streets (if practical and possible) will often be more agreeable than those waiting in stands, who demand more fare.
