Best Time to Travel
Early mornings (before 6:30 AM) or late mornings (after 10:00 AM) are best to avoid peak traffic. Late afternoons (after 7:00 PM) can also be less congested than peak evening hours (4:00 PM - 7:00 PM).
Safety Rating
Medium. Lagos public transport is generally safe, but 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially late at night or in less crowded buses. Pickpocketing is common in very crowded areas like Oshodi. Always be alert and avoid displaying valuables.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT is available for significant portions of this route (e.g., Obalende to Oshodi). There is no rail service directly connecting Ikoyi to Idowu Egba.
