Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) are generally best to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak traffic. Avoid early mornings (6:30 AM - 9:00 AM) and evenings (4:30 PM - 7:30 PM).
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, vigilance is key. 'One-chance' vehicles (unmarked commercial vehicles with criminal intent) are a risk, especially late at night or from isolated pick-up points. Petty theft and pickpocketing can occur in crowded buses and bus stops. Always use established bus stops.
