Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Traveling in the afternoon, between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM, can also be less congested. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium. While Lagos public transport is generally safe during the day, long journeys across the city, especially in the evening, carry risks. Be cautious of 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked public transport that can rob passengers). Always use clearly marked public transport, avoid late-night travel, and be aware of your surroundings.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available for significant portions of this route, specifically from Obalende/CMS to Oshodi, and from Oshodi towards Abule Egba. There is no rail option directly connecting these two points.
