Best Time to Travel
To beat the worst gridlock, move between 10:00 AM and 3:30 PM (off-peak hours). If you must travel during morning peak hours, leave Falomo before 7:00 AM. For evening travel, leaving Akoka before 4:30 PM or waiting out the rush until after 8:00 PM will save you hours of sitting in traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day because it is very busy, but you must stay alert. Watch your pockets and bags at Obalende and Yaba Under-bridge to avoid pickpockets. Avoid standing at isolated bus stops after 9:00 PM, and always make sure any Danfo you enter has its inner lights on if you are traveling late to avoid 'one-chance' criminals.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or passenger rail track running from Falomo straight into Akoka. However, you can access the regular large state buses or standard regulated buses at Obalende terminal to cross over to Yaba, or take the Lagos Red Line Rail from Yaba station if you are coming from farther up the mainland.
Heavy delivery trucks and logistics vans must take the service lane under the Ojuelegba bridge due to strict height restriction barriers on the flyover.
