What's the infrastructure like, is that walking comfortable or dangerous, too much smog or whatever?
Walking is OK, but if it rains it easily flood making walking problematic. There is a risk of getting a virus if the water is has infected rat urine in it. That part is unlikely, but you need medication if you get it and I’ve never known anyone personally who got it, but it’s still something to worry about.
The sidewalks are all messed up and anyone with a mobility problem, may not be able to get around without a car. Biking in the street is unsafe as the roads are narrow and the bike lanes overlap with car lanes. In fact on one road, the bike lane is also the car turning lane.
Those bike lanes are not blocked or really even respected. It’s used by motorbikes and even the busses will swing into them.
So, really the only safe way to get around here is by some kind of car or walking, but it’s in the tropics so it’s hot and humid consistently.
