Best Time to Travel
Mid-morning (10 AM - 2 PM) on weekdays is ideal to avoid the worst of peak hour traffic. Weekends can sometimes be better, but traffic around major markets like Igando can still be heavy.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe during the day, but long-distance routes on the mainland can have 'one-chance' risks, especially if you board unofficial vehicles or travel very late at night. Be vigilant and secure your belongings at crowded bus stops and inside buses.
