Best Time to Travel
To avoid the worst of Lagos traffic, plan your journey for very early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late evenings (after 9:00 PM). Mid-day (between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM) can also offer slightly less congestion than the peak hours of 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during daylight hours, travelers should exercise caution, especially when using public transport late at night. 'One-chance' incidents, where passengers are robbed in moving vehicles, can occur. It's advisable to avoid boarding shared taxis or buses with suspicious occupants, particularly after 8-9 PM.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) or rail service connecting Bariga directly to Allen Avenue. However, you can access the BRT corridor along Ikorodu Road (e.g., at Maryland Bus Stop or Anthony Bus Stop) which can take you towards Oshodi or Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS). From these points, you would need to take another public bus or taxi to reach Allen Avenue.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
