Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM (mid-day) or after 8:00 PM in the evening to avoid the heaviest traffic. Morning rush hour (6:00 AM - 9:00 AM) and evening rush hour (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM) will significantly increase your travel time.
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, especially in less busy areas or late at night. Be vigilant, avoid boarding empty buses or 'Keke' late at night, and trust your instincts. Keep valuables out of sight.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT buses are available from Obalende/CMS towards Ojuelegba and Costain, which are key transfer points for Western Avenue. There is no rail service directly connecting Dolphin Estate to Western Avenue.
