Flying from Bengaluru to Pune can take little more than an hour, but reaching home from Pune airport can take longer than the flight itself. For Baner resident Prasad Karwa, the contrast became clear on Monday evening when he travelled with his parents from Bengaluru to Pune. The flight covered an aerial distance of around 741 km in about 80 minutes, while the roughly 18-km journey from Pune airport to his home in Baner took around 90 minutes.
Karwa told TOI that the experience highlighted the worsening traffic situation on Pune’s roads.
