Best Time to Travel
The best time to leave CMS is between 10:00 AM and 2:30 PM to avoid the heavy morning and evening rush hours. If you must travel in the morning, try to move before 7:00 AM because traffic builds up quickly heading towards the mainland.
Safety Rating
Medium - While the buses and main roads are generally secure during the day, you must stay alert at the CMS loading parks and Adekunle bus stop. Pickpockets are very common here. Avoid flashing your phones or counting money openly. When walking into Makoko, it is best to go with a local or a known guide, especially as you get closer to the waterfront areas.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT bus or Train line that drops inside Makoko. However, you can take a standard BRT bus from CMS to Yaba bus terminal, and then enter a local bus or Keke to complete your journey to Makoko.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
