Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush, depart Ijora before 6:30 AM. For the afternoon or off-peak periods, travelling between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM offers the smoothest ride.
Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must remain highly alert at major connection points. Ijora Under-Bridge and CMS are known for pickpockets and area boys, especially early in the morning and late at night. Keep your phones and wallets secure inside your bags.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT or train line from Ijora inside to Onikan. However, the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (Blue Line) is accessible nearby at National Theatre Station or Marina Station if you wish to bypass bridge traffic.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
