Is it safe to travel by public transport in Lagos?
Generally, it is safe. However, always be aware of your surroundings, especially at crowded bus stops. Avoid displaying valuables, keep your phone secure, and only board buses at designated stops. At night, stick to well-lit areas and established bus parks.
Can I use a Keke Napep (tricycle) for this route?
Keke Napep is suitable for short distances within Agege or for connecting to major bus stops. It is not a viable option for the entire journey from Agege to CMS Marina due to the long distance and traffic regulations on major expressways.
What if I get lost?
Don't panic. Most Lagosians are helpful. Ask a conductor, fellow passenger, or a shop owner for directions. Using a GPS map application on your phone can also be very useful.
