Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) and early afternoon (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos traffic. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8:00 PM) can also be faster but might have fewer public transport options.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution, especially when traveling in the evening. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) can occur. Always board Keke or Danfo from designated, busy parks or bus stops, and avoid empty or suspicious vehicles.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service from Banana Island to Lekki Phase 1. You might find BRT services from Falomo towards CMS/TBS, but that's not the direct route to Lekki Phase 1.
