The two times I have gone to Pune, I used a driver both times from BOM. I guess I was lucky since I didn't have any issues but traffic was miserable getting out of BOM and then crossing that single lane bridge (which is under construction for years now) took forever.
But I have used a driver most times I am going to cities without airport, despite the scary driving conditions, rather than take the train. I wouldn't take the trains again. They are dirty, broken down, old, and always full even in so-called "1st Class". And always delayed. Just plain nasty! and the train stations are even worse. If not for our local rep being with me, I would never dream of doing it. Nothing exotic about it. But work is work.
