Safety / WarningEdit

While traveling from Pune to Mumbai beware of touts who induce you into cheaper travel. Rather take the Asiad buses from the regular stand at the Pune station or the crowded luxury buses which are safer options.
The auto rickshaw drivers can overcharge so ask them for meter readings and follow the rules of the meter while making payments.
The city is heavily polluted in crowded junctions so avoid traveling in rush hours.
Do not trust strangers while traveling and avoid traveling out late at night in lonely areas, though Pune is relatively a safe city, and the crime rate is low.
