Safety Rating
Medium. While day travel is generally safe, be aware of your surroundings in crowded buses and markets. Pickpocketing is common. Avoid late-night travel on public transport. 'One-chance' syndicates, though less frequent on major routes during the day, are a risk to be aware of, especially in less crowded vehicles or at odd hours.
