Hotspots
Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays to avoid the worst of the morning and evening rush hour traffic. Weekends, especially Saturday mornings, can also offer lighter traffic. Avoid traveling during heavy rainfall, as this significantly worsens traffic and can lead to flooding in certain areas.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe during the day on major routes. However, travelers should be wary of pickpockets in crowded areas and 'one-chance' vehicles, especially when traveling late at night or using less formal transport. Stick to well-known bus stops and clearly marked public buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) is a very useful option for a significant part of this journey. You can use BRT from Oshodi to CMS/TBS and then from CMS/TBS along the Lekki-Epe Expressway towards Ajah. There is no rail option available for this specific intra-city route.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
