Job commute

Hi, i’m not sure if this is the right thread for this, but I recently got a job on the upper east side and live in the upper west side. I have about a 45 minute- 1 hour commute to work. I’m fine with how long the commute is but I will be working early mornings sometimes as early as 6am. So I would have to leave at 5am to get to work on time. I don’t have much experience with the bus but there is a bus stop about 5 minutes from my apartment and it drops me off about 3 minutes from work. Is it safe to take the bus from Hamilton Heights area that early in the morning alone?
