Research

Stay on Church St / Brigade Rd mains — metro or cab home, skip empty side streets.

Daytime

Busy and workable for shopping/transit; watch bags in crowds.

Evening

Entertainment corridors stay peopled; stick to well-lit main spines.

Late night

Use Metro (until ~11pm) or Ola/Uber; avoid isolated lanes around the CBD.

What to take care of

• Keep to Church Street / Brigade Road corridors at night.
• Watch for pickpockets in dense crowds.
• Share ride details; prefer app cabs over unmarked cars.

Executive research ~6/10. Well-policed by day; evening works on Church St / Brigade Rd corridors. Reddit and guides note higher harassment/crowding risk than Indiranagar. Metro until ~11pm or ride-hail home — don’t wander side alleys.
