💡Pro Travel Tips
Always carry sufficient small denominations of Naira (₦50, ₦100, ₦200, ₦500) as conductors rarely have change for large notes.
Travel outside peak hours (7-9 AM and 4-7 PM) to significantly reduce travel time and avoid intense crowding on buses.
Keep your bags and valuables secure, especially in crowded buses and bus stops, to prevent petty theft.

❓Route FAQ
What's the best time to travel this route to avoid traffic?
To minimize traffic, aim to travel between 10 AM and 3 PM on weekdays. Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) and late evenings (after 8 PM) are also generally clearer. Weekends are usually better, but still expect some traffic around popular spots, especially around shopping centers and churches.
Is it safe to travel this route at night?
While major roads are generally safe, it's advisable to use ride-hailing services like Uber or Bolt for late-night travel on this route. If using commercial buses, ensure you board from well-lit, busy bus stops and stay vigilant; avoid isolated stops.
Are there alternative public transport options like BRT or trains?
Currently, there isn't a direct BRT or train line covering the entire Ikoyi to Chevron Drive route. The most efficient public transport involves a combination of commercial buses (Danfo) and possibly Keke Napep for the final leg. Ride-hailing remains the most direct and comfortable alternative for this specific route.
