Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the rush hour traffic. Mid-afternoon (around 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM) can also be less congested. Avoid peak hours (6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) if possible, as journey times can double or triple.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe. However, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially when traveling late at night or using less reputable transport. Always be alert, avoid isolated bus stops at night, and keep your belongings secure. Do not board empty buses or vehicles with only the driver and one other passenger if you feel uneasy.
