Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (around 10 AM - 1 PM) or early afternoon (2 PM - 4 PM) to avoid Lagos' notorious peak hour traffic. Avoid 6 AM - 9 AM and 4 PM - 8 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel on main routes is generally safe. Be extra careful during late evenings or when using less popular routes. 'One-chance' syndicates operate, so avoid isolated bus stops and unbranded vehicles late at night. Always be aware of your surroundings.
