Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush, the best time to depart Ikeja is between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. If you must travel early, leave before 6:00 AM. For evening travel, try to move before 4:00 PM or wait until after 8:30 PM to avoid getting stuck in terrible traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must be very alert, especially at major connection points like Oshodi and Mile 2. Pickpockets are common in these crowded spaces. Keep your phone and wallet safe inside your bag, do not carry cash openly, and avoid entering unmarked vehicles (one-chance) at night.
BRT / Rail / Water
Yes, there is partial mass transit available. You can use standard BRT buses from Oshodi to Mile 2. Also, the Lagos Blue Line Rail is fully active from Mile 2 to Marina, and the second phase extending the tracks from Mile 2 down to Okokomaiko is currently under heavy construction with a target completion around late 2026 or 2027.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
