Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM). Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as traffic can significantly extend your journey duration.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as commercial drivers/passengers) can occur, especially in late evenings or when boarding vehicles at unofficial bus stops. Always use reputable transport options and be aware of your surroundings.
