Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:30 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 2:00 PM and 3:30 PM) is also usually better than evening peak.

Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially in less crowded areas or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops. Always be aware of your surroundings.
