Let's fill this up as we learn about public transportation in the city.
Things we've learned so far:
To get to most places in the city (charminar, etc):
Cross the street from Main Gate to get to the bus stop. Catch bus 216 to Koti.
If you have a specific destination in mind, look up the spot on google maps and pan out or in until you see a bus station on the map. Each bus stop should have a name listed. Look up the name Here and find the bus from Koti to where you are going.
People on the street and at the bus stops very willing to help direct you. It's also nice that no matter where you are you can grab a rickshaw if you need.
Each bus ride costs between 10 and 15 Rs. when you get on the bus, the man with a messenger bag/satchel and tickets will come by your seat and collect your money. Women sit in the front, men tend to sit in the back, although the middle part is kind of up for anyone and it seems like women can sit in the back if they like. Men will sit in the front if they are traveling with women or small children.
It is also very normal at a busy bus stop to walk up to a bus and yell up to the passengers to ask where the bus is going.
