Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush hours, you should leave Ipaja as early as 5:00 AM. If you miss this early window, wait until the mid-day off-peak period between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM when the traffic reduces.
Safety Rating
Medium - You must remain highly alert, especially during dark morning hours and late nights. Keep your phone and wallet safe at major overcrowded transport hubs like Iyana-Ipaja and Oshodi. Beware of 'one-chance' criminals who use unmarked commercial vehicles to rob unsuspecting passengers.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or train from Ipaja straight to Lekki. However, you can use the standard regulated LAMATA/BRT buses from Iyana-Ipaja to Oshodi or Obalende, then transfer to another connection going to the Island.
