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.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
