Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (around 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon/early evening (after 7:00 PM) on weekdays. Weekends generally have lighter traffic. Avoid peak hours (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) as journey times can more than double.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, exercise caution, especially at crowded bus stops like Oshodi and Obalende. 'One-chance' incidents (unmarked commercial vehicles with criminal intent) are a risk, particularly when traveling alone or late at night. Pickpocketing is common in busy areas. Always board vehicles at designated bus stops and avoid vehicles that are not full or have suspicious-looking occupants.
