Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be manageable. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as travel time can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, always be aware of your surroundings. 'One-chance' incidents can occur, particularly in less crowded areas or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded buses and bus stops.
