Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must stay alert at night. Watch out for pickpockets at busy spots like Obalende, Ojota, and Ketu under-bridge. Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags, especially when the bus slows down in heavy traffic or when boarding crowded Danfos.
