ahmadabad is a safe city except the railway station where someone will surely steal something from you;the trains are also full of thieves;but the real danger comes from the traffic on the roads;drivers are crazy,and you will see one thousand 3-wheels-cabs in the middle of 100 bicycles surronded by dozens of trucks and cars;it is dangerous to cross roads.
