Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) are generally best to avoid the heaviest traffic. Avoid traveling after 7:00 PM due to increased safety risks and reduced public transport availability.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' vehicles can operate, especially at night or in less crowded areas. Phone snatching in traffic is common. Always be alert, especially at crowded bus stops and while stuck in traffic. Avoid displaying valuables openly.
