Pune (PNQ): the METRO19 bus to Yerwada, and the feeder that was withdrawn

PMPML runs a bus between the airport and the metro. The original Ramwadi feeder is reported discontinued and METRO19 to Yerwada is the current link.

  • The metro does not reach the airport. A PMPML bus links it to a metro station instead.
  • METRO19 runs between the airport and Yerwada metro station, about every 30 minutes.
  • From the airport it runs 06:30 to 21:40, and from Yerwada 07:00 to 22:10.
  • Four daily workings run through to Pune station: from the airport at 13:00, 13:30, 22:10 and 22:40.
  • Coming out to the airport those run at 05:50, 06:20, 15:00 and 15:30.
  • An earlier feeder to Ramwadi metro station launched in September 2024, at 5 rupees for the first stops and 10 beyond.
  • That Ramwadi service is reported discontinued for want of passengers, so check before relying on it.
  • PMPML fares on these routes are in single figures, which is as cheap as an airport transfer gets anywhere.
  • The airport is at Lohegaon, on the north east edge of the city, sharing the runway with an air force base.
  • Ola, Uber, prepaid taxis and an auto rickshaw union all operate from the terminal.

The bus to the metro

  • Pune's metro does not come to the airport. The link is a PMPML bus to a metro station, and which station that is has already changed once.
  • METRO19 is the current service, running between the airport and Yerwada metro station about every 30 minutes.
  • From the airport it runs 06:30 to 21:40. From Yerwada, 07:00 to 22:10.
  • Some workings continue to Pune station: from the airport at 13:00, 13:30, 22:10 and 22:40, and towards the airport at 05:50, 06:20, 15:00 and 15:30.

The feeder that came and went

  • In September 2024 Pune Metro and PMPML launched a feeder between Ramwadi metro station and the airport.
  • It charged 5 rupees for the first few stops and 10 beyond, ran every 40 minutes, and covered about 4 km with 11 to 15 stops by way of Vadgaon Sheri Phata, Viman Nagar Corner, Chandan Nagar and Symbiosis College.
  • It is now reported as discontinued because too few people used it.
  • Both services are worth checking on the day. A route this new and this lightly used is not a fixed feature, and guides describing the Ramwadi bus are describing something that may no longer run.

Everything else

  • Ola and Uber operate from the airport.
  • A prepaid taxi desk and an auto rickshaw union counter both sit in the terminal, the auto counter staffed around the clock.
  • The airport is at Lohegaon on the north eastern edge of Pune, sharing its runway with an air force station, which is why the civil terminal is small for a city this size.
  • A new airport at Purandar has been announced for years and is not open; flights all use Lohegaon.
