Bike Pooling App in Pune: Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta
ZoinZo Editorial
September 30, 2026
Ask anyone who works in Hinjewadi about their commute and you will hear about the traffic. Wakad, Pimple Saudagar, Baner and Aundh all empty towards the same IT parks at the same hour, and the roads in between slow to a crawl. Kharadi and Magarpatta see the same thing on the east side.
A lot of that traffic is two-wheelers with one person on them.
Where a bike pool makes sense in Pune
- Wakad and Pimple Saudagar to Hinjewadi. Short, but slow at peak hour, and made by a huge number of people.
- Kothrud and Aundh to Hinjewadi and Baner. Longer rides with the same office timings.
- Wagholi and Viman Nagar to Kharadi's IT parks along Nagar Road.
- Hadapsar to Magarpatta. A short hop that is ideal for a regular bike pool.
- Pimpri-Chinchwad to Chakan and Talegaon for shift workers in the auto and manufacturing belt.
What it costs
The rider sets a share of the petrol, shown before you book. For a short Hinjewadi run:
- A 12 km round trip on a 110cc scooter uses about 0.27 litres. Owners of popular scooters report around 45–47 km a litre in city traffic, and commuter motorcycles often do better.
- With petrol in Pune at ₹112.02 a litre, that is about ₹30 a day.
- Over 22 working days, ₹660 a month.
- Shared between rider and pillion, ₹330 each.
Longer rides cost more, and save more when shared.
What to check before you ride
Indian law requires a helmet for both rider and pillion. Riders on ZoinZo say whether they carry a spare helmet, so you know before you book.
You can see the rider's name, photo, vehicle and ratings, and chat in the app before the ride. Women can choose Pink Rides, which only women can offer and book.

Tips for a smooth bike pool in Pune
- Meet where the rider already passes, such as a main junction on the Hinjewadi road or near a bus stop, so nobody loses time in side lanes.
- Leave a few minutes early. Hinjewadi traffic builds fast after the first shift starts.
- Keep a raincoat from June to September, when Pune's monsoon makes mornings wet and slow.
- Carry your own helmet if you can, so the ride never depends on a spare.
- Chat in the app first, so you both know who you are looking for at pickup.
Already riding to work? Offer your seat
If you ride from Wakad, Kothrud or Wagholi to an IT park every day, your pillion seat can cover part of your petrol. Post the route once on ZoinZo, set your leaving time and choose to repeat it every weekday. You see each person's profile and ratings before you accept.
