Best Time to Travel
To avoid heavy traffic, travel between 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM or after 8:00 PM on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic, but expect some congestion around market areas and major intersections.
Safety Rating
Medium. While public transport is generally safe, be aware of 'one-chance' situations, especially when boarding buses at night or from isolated stops. Pickpocketing is common in crowded buses and terminals. Always confirm your destination with the driver/conductor before boarding and keep your valuables secure.
