Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM (mid-day off-peak) or after 8:00 PM. Avoid morning rush (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening rush (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as travel times can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' (robbery by commercial vehicle operators) is a risk, especially late evenings or when boarding sparsely filled vehicles. Pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. Always be vigilant.
