Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) and late mornings (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) are ideal to avoid peak traffic. Late afternoons (after 7:00 PM) can also be less congested than the 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM rush.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe during the day. However, 'one-chance' incidents (robberies or kidnappings by criminals posing as public transport operators) are a risk, especially late at night or in less busy areas. Always choose busy bus stops and well-lit areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is available along the Ikorodu Road corridor, which can be accessed from Bode Thomas via a short Danfo/Keke ride. There is no direct BRT lane from Bode Thomas to Lagos Island.
