Best Time to Travel
The best time to depart from Badagry is very early in the morning (between 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM) to beat the morning rush hour. Alternatively, traveling late morning (after 10:00 AM) or mid-afternoon (before 3:00 PM) can help avoid the worst of the traffic. Avoid peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 8:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium to High Risk. The Lagos-Badagry Expressway, especially in the evening or at night, can have security concerns. 'One-chance' syndicates, who pose as commercial drivers or passengers to rob unsuspecting travelers, are a known risk. It's crucial to use designated motor parks and avoid hailing vehicles in isolated spots or late at night. Pickpocketing can also occur in crowded bus stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available on parts of the route, specifically from Mile 2 onwards towards CMS/TBS on Lagos Island. There is currently no rail service connecting Badagry directly to Lagos Island.
