💡Pro Travel Tips
Always keep your phone, wallet, and other valuables secure and out of sight, especially in crowded bus stops like Oshodi.
Traffic in Lagos is highly unpredictable; always factor in an additional 30-60 minutes beyond estimated travel times, particularly during morning and evening rush hours.
Try to have smaller denominations of Naira (₦100, ₦200, ₦500 notes) ready for bus fares, as conductors may not always have exact change.
Be assertive but polite when boarding buses or negotiating Keke fares. For Keke, most routes have fairly standardized prices, but it's good to confirm.
Use mapping apps like Google Maps for real-time traffic updates, which can help you decide if it's better to wait out traffic or proceed.

❓Route FAQ
What is the best time to travel to avoid heavy traffic?
To significantly reduce travel time due to traffic, aim to depart very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or during off-peak hours (mid-morning, 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM). Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) at all costs.
Are there any alternative routes or modes of transport available?
Yes, for a more direct and comfortable experience, you can use ride-hailing services like Bolt or Uber.

For the last mile from Ikeja Under Bridge, 'Okada' (motorcycles) might be an option on some inner roads, but they are generally restricted on major routes for safety reasons.
Is it safe to travel this route by public transport?
Generally, yes, it is safe during daylight hours. However, exercising caution is always advised. Be vigilant in crowded areas, avoid displaying expensive gadgets or large sums of cash, and ensure your bag is securely held, particularly in bus queues and inside buses.
