After First Randoli, will Grab surge badly. Should we book a scheduled ride now, or walk beyond the barrier ring then hail.

Walking beyond the ring then hailing beats sitting inside a surge polygon hoping a driver accepts. Scheduled rides help some people, but cancellation risk is real when streets are closed — have a walk-out plan either way.

If Monday transport is the real goal, overnight and morning bus or train is calmer than a post-parade night transfer.

Buddy up for the walk-out if you are solo — surge decisions are easier with two people reading the app.
