Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:00 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) to avoid peak traffic. Mid-day (12:00 PM - 2:00 PM) can also be good. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM if possible.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially in crowded bus stops or late at night. Pickpocketing is also common in busy areas like Oshodi and Iyana-Ipaja. Always be alert.
