Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-morning (10:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or late evening (after 8:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Traveling during these times can cut your journey time significantly.
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe during the day. However, it's wise to be alert, especially when traveling late in the evening. 'One-chance' incidents, where criminals pose as commercial bus drivers or passengers, can occur. Always use buses from known, busy parks and avoid empty or suspicious-looking vehicles, especially at night.
