Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are very early morning (before 6:00 AM), late morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM), or mid-afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM). Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM - 8:00 PM) if you want to save time, as travel duration can double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, particularly in isolated 'Danfo' buses or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops and buses. Always be alert and avoid using your phone openly in crowded areas. Avoid traveling alone late at night if possible.
BRT / Rail / Water
