Safety Rating
Medium. While the route is generally busy and well-traveled, passengers should be aware of petty crime like pickpocketing, especially in crowded bus stops and market areas. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents are less common on such short, central routes but always board public transport from designated, busy points.
