Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 7:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, always be aware of your surroundings. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents can occur in unbranded taxis or some Danfos, so opt for established routes and busy parks. Evening travel requires extra caution.
