Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) on weekdays. Weekends, mid-day (11:00 AM - 2:00 PM), generally have lighter traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) at all costs, and do not travel late at night if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. Be alert for 'one-chance' operators, especially if taking less crowded buses or traveling late at night. Petty crime like pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops. The Apapa area can be rough, particularly after dark, due to the industrial environment and truck drivers.
