🛵 Which vehicle?
Any petrol scooter in the fleet. Every electric does the round trip on one charge too.
⏰ Best time
Before 11am, or the market crowd makes parking impossible
⚠️ Road note
Dense, slow, two-way traffic with handcarts. A light scooter is the only sane choice here, and expect to park a street away from wherever you meant.
