Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution, especially in crowded bus stops and during evening travel. Be aware of your belongings and avoid using your phone openly in heavy traffic. 'One-chance' incidents can occur, so always board vehicles at designated, busy bus stops.
