Public transportation:Moderate
Public transportation in Cuenca is relatively safe but, like many other bustling cities, it's important to stay cautious. City buses are the most common form of transportation and they are generally safe during the day. However, they can get crowded leading to uncomfortable situations. Theft can be a concern, particularly on crowded buses, so always keep an eye on personal belongings. Taxis are relatively safe but should always be booked through a credible source or taken from a taxi rank, to assure they are licensed. Everyone knows everyone in this small city so, if you’re in doubt, ask local people for help. Overall, public transportation is safe, as long as precautions are taken and you remain aware of your surroundings.
