Best Time to Travel
The best time to start your journey is very early in the morning (before 6:00 AM) or late morning (after 10:00 AM) to avoid the worst of Lagos' peak hour traffic. Avoid traveling late in the evening.
Safety Rating
Medium. The journey is generally safe during the day. However, 'one-chance' vehicle risks exist, particularly for long-distance routes like Badagry if you board from unofficial spots. Night travel on the Badagry Expressway is not advisable due to potential security concerns. Always ensure life jackets are provided and worn during the boat ride to Gberefu.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available for parts of this route, specifically from CMS to Mile 2, offering a more structured and often faster option compared to regular Danfo buses for that segment. There is no train service available for this specific intra-Lagos route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
