Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late mornings (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) are best to avoid heavy traffic. Weekends generally offer less congestion, especially on Saturdays. Avoid peak hours: 6:30 AM - 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:30 PM on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. During the day, the route is generally safe when using recognized public transport at official bus stops. However, evening travel (especially after 8 PM) carries a higher risk of 'one-chance' incidents, particularly if taking isolated shared taxis or buses from unofficial spots. Always opt for well-lit, busy bus stops.
