I would like to know what bus options I have for going from Hyderabad to Pune? It would be my first trip to Pune, so I have no idea of distance or what kind of journey it would be. I want to emphasize on one thing, that I want the bus to be comfortable and be air conditioned, as the weather is very hot, I am hoping that there would be a Volvo bus service. Some details which I would like about the journey is: How long is the bus from Hyderabad to Pune? Please mention what the bus timings are and where to get the bus from? Should the bus ticket be prebooked?
Hello, @Maddy! Welcome to the forum! Here are your bus options from Hyderabad to Pune: 1. Telangana State Road Transport Corporation (TSRTC) Buses - Several Volvo buses ply between Hyderabad and Pune that are operated by the TSRTC. Here they are: Volvo Isuzu AC Semi-Sleeper Bus - This departs from the Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station in Hyderabad at 19:30. Arrival time in Pune is at 7:10. Duration of journey is about 11 hours, more or less. Fare is at Rs. 966 per passenger. Volvo Benz AC Multi-Axle Bus - This departs from the Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station in Hyderabad at 17:30. Arrival time in Pune is at 5:00. Duration of journey is about 11 hours, more or less. Fare is at Rs. 1,027 per passenger. There are also other ordinary buses plying this route that are also operated by TSRTC. I didn't include them since you are looking for AC Volvo buses. So you only need to go to the Mahatma Gandhi Bus Station to board these buses. Locally, the bus station is known as the Imlibun Bus Station as it's located in the Imlibun Island, near the Musi River. It's better to book your ticket in advance. Here is their contact number: +91 40 24614406. 2. Private Buses - There are many private bus operators plying from Hyderabad to Pune.

I've answered all your questions about bus timings, duration of journey, where to get the bus and whether you should prebook them above.
