Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM, or after 7:00 PM on weekdays to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic. Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) are also good. Weekends usually have lighter traffic, but Sundays can still see congestion around places of worship and markets.
Safety Rating
Medium. While daylight travel is generally safe, be aware of 'one-chance' syndicates, especially when boarding buses at less busy stops or late in the evening. Pickpocketing is common at crowded bus terminals like Oshodi and Iyana Ipaja. Always use established bus stops and avoid isolated areas.
