Best Time to Travel
To minimize travel time, aim to depart very early in the morning (before 5:30 AM) or late in the evening (after 8:00 PM). Weekends, particularly Sundays, offer significantly lighter traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, commuters should be alert. 'One-chance' syndicates operate, especially at night or in isolated areas. Avoid displaying valuables openly. Always use reputable ride-hailing services or known public transport parks.
