Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are mid-mornings (10:00 AM - 12:00 PM) and early afternoons (2:00 PM - 4:00 PM) on weekdays. Avoid peak hours, which are typically 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM, as traffic congestion is severe during these periods.
Safety Rating
During the day, the safety rating is Medium, with general urban risks like pickpocketing in crowded buses. At night, the safety rating is Low due to increased risks of 'one-chance' vehicles (unmarked taxis or buses where passengers are robbed) and general insecurity. It is advisable to avoid traveling alone at night and to use well-known, busy public transport options.
BRT / Rail / Water
BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) services are available and operate on dedicated lanes along Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue and parts of the Lekki-Epe Expressway, which can significantly reduce travel time during peak hours. There is currently no operational train (rail) service directly connecting Ikoyi to Lekki.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
