Public transportation:Moderate
Barranquilla's public transportation is overall relatively safe, especially during the day. The city buses, known as Transmetro, are kept tidy and run on regular routes throughout the city although they can sometimes become quite densely packed. However, it's always advised to stay cautious and avoid displaying expensive items in order to avoid petty crimes like pickpocketing. Also, taxis are considered safer, especially at night. Although most taxi drivers are trustworthy, it is recommended to use only official taxis booked through a trusted app or a telephone service. Even in this, it's always best to keep your belongings close and secure.
