Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) or early afternoon (02:00 PM - 04:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's notorious rush hour traffic. Avoid peak hours (06:00 AM - 09:00 AM and 04:00 PM - 08:00 PM) and late evenings (after 08:00 PM) if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, pickpocketing is common in crowded bus stops like CMS and Costain. 'One-chance' incidents (robbery/kidnapping in commercial vehicles) are a known risk in Lagos, particularly when traveling late at night or with unfamiliar drivers. Always be alert and choose buses from designated, busy stops.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or rail service from Banana Island to National Theatre. However, the BRT corridor from CMS/TBS to Mile 2 passes by the National Theatre (with a stop at Costain). This can be integrated into a multi-modal journey, but often Danfo is more direct for the entire trip.
