Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak hour traffic. Afternoons, especially between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM, see heavy congestion on this route.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, long bus routes, especially around Mile 2 and the Badagry Expressway axis, can be prone to 'one-chance' incidents. Avoid displaying valuables and be cautious of your surroundings, especially when traveling alone or late in the evening.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for a significant portion of this route, offering a faster and more structured option from CMS to Mile 2. There is currently no train service directly connecting Banana Island to Alaba International Market.
