❓Route FAQ
What is the best time to travel to avoid traffic?
The best times to travel are generally very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) and mid-afternoons (between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM). Avoid peak rush hours from 6:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
Is it safe to travel at night?
While commercial buses still operate to some extent, it's generally safer to use ride-hailing services for journeys at night. If using public transport, stick to well-lit areas and busy routes, and be extra vigilant.
Can I use a single app for public bus payments?
Currently, Lagos's commercial bus system (danfo) primarily operates on cash payments. Some BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) routes accept card payments or apps like OPay/PalmPay, but these are limited and not applicable to the entire route from Ajah to Egbeda using commercial buses.
What should I do if I get lost or miss a connection?
Don't panic. Lagos is well-connected. Ask locals for directions to the nearest major bus stop or for buses going to your next destination. Most Lagosians are willing to help. Always have a charged phone and some cash handy.
Are there Keke Napeps (tricycles) for this route?
Keke Napeps are primarily for shorter, intra-neighborhood routes. They are not suitable or permitted for a long-distance inter-Lagos journey like Ajah to Egbeda. You would need to rely on buses or ride-hailing for the main journey.
