Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is mid-morning (around 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM) or late afternoon (after 7:00 PM) to avoid the worst of Lagos's peak hour traffic. Traveling during these times can cut your journey time significantly.
Safety Rating
Medium to Low. The route involves busy areas and the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which can have security concerns. 'One-chance' incidents (where criminals pose as public transport operators) are known to occur, particularly around Mile 2 and along the Badagry axis, especially in the evenings. Pickpocketing is also common in crowded bus stops.

Partial BRT availability. You can use BRT for a portion of the journey (e.g., from TBS to Mile 2). There is no direct BRT route from Ikoyi to Ijanikin. There is currently no train service available for this specific intra-city route.
