While the route is generally safe, it's advisable to avoid traveling alone on public transport late at night. If you must, use well-lit routes and try to travel with others. Keke Napeps might be a safer option than Danfos late at night for a direct ride, but confirm the driver's trustworthiness.
Yes, key bus stops/landmarks include 'Falomo', 'Admiralty Way Junction', and the 'Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge' toll gate area. These are good points for transfers or directions.
