Non-ac buses are a more comfortable cheap option, and bus passes are now available for variable periods.

Re: Mumbai life
I will be in Mumbai for a couple of weeks and then travel to Pune for another couple. Based on some company factors, I might be required to visit a couple more places but that's not finalized yet!

Do a search on Pune and I am sure you will find it
