Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst traffic, travel early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM). Mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM) generally offers the smoothest travel. Try to avoid evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if your schedule permits.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during daylight hours, 'one-chance' incidents can occur on less busy routes or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded buses and bus stops. Always be aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure.
