Pune has more traffic than it used to, but getting around is pretty easy. It's highly walkable, auto rickshaws are easy to find in most areas, and there is plenty of public transit (govt buses, privately owned 6 seaters). Many jobs also offer transport, jobs with western hours (read: call centers) in particular. Roads and flyovers are being built at a good clip - unlike the US, construction is pretty cheap and isn't paralyzed by red tape.
You don't actually need to provide city-wide transport. All you really need is demand for it - entrepreneurial types are pretty good at figuring out where it's needed. You do, however, need to avoid passing (or at least enforcing) laws against it.

(Here is a little bit on private sector mass transit in the US: http://projects.newyorker.com/story/nyc-dollar-vans/ Jersey City also had these, and they were vastly superior to public buses.)
