Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid the worst of the morning rush. For evening travel, aim to leave Dolphin Estate before 4:00 PM or after 7:30 PM to escape the heavy evening peak traffic on the 3rd Mainland Bridge and Ikorodu Road.
Safety Rating
Medium. While generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents (where passengers are robbed by criminals posing as public transport operators) can occur, particularly when traveling late at night or in sparsely filled vehicles. Always choose busy bus stops and full buses. Keep valuables out of sight and avoid using your phone openly in traffic.
