At CMS, locate the BRT terminal. Take a BRT bus heading towards Mile 2. This is usually faster as BRT has dedicated lanes.
From Mile 2, find 'Danfo' or 'Coaster' buses going directly to Badagry Roundabout. Ensure the bus is clearly marked 'Badagry'.

Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6 AM) on weekdays is best to beat the worst of the traffic. Mid-day on Saturdays can also be manageable. Avoid peak hours (7-9 AM and 4-7 PM) if possible. Always aim to arrive at Seme before 5 PM.
Safety Rating
Medium to High. The Lagos-Badagry Expressway, especially past Mile 2 and towards Badagry, has known security concerns, including 'one-chance' operations and occasional robberies, particularly at night or in isolated areas. General Lagos traffic can also attract petty crime like pickpocketing. Exercise caution and avoid late-night travel.
