ST buses to stop near Ramwadi Metro Station
For the convenience of passengers travelling on the Pune-Ahmednagar route, the Pune ST division has decided to provide a stop for ST buses near the Ramwadi Metro station. Accordingly, all ST buses have started stopping near the Ramwadi Metro station. This will allow passengers to alight at Ramwadi and travel to their desired destination via the metro.
The maximum number of buses on the Ahmednagar route depart from the Shivaji Nagar ST station. These buses go to various cities in Marathwada and Vidarbha, including Ahmednagar, Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, and Shirdi. Currently, these buses have stops at Gunjan Chowk, beyond Kharadi Bypass, and Wagholi on the Ahmednagar route. An ST employee is stationed at these stops; there is also a conductor to issue tickets for the non-stop buses running to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. Now that a stop has been added at Ramwadi, passengers will benefit greatly.
