Best Time to Travel

Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport is generally safe, be aware of pickpockets in crowded areas and 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked vehicles posing as public transport). Always board buses at designated bus stops and from clearly marked vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, particularly from CMS/TBS to Mile 2. There is no intra-city rail service connecting these specific points.
