Best Time to Travel
To beat the heavy morning rush hour traffic, it is best to leave between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM. If you miss this window, wait until the off-peak period starting from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM when the roads are relatively free. For the evening return journey, try to move before 4:30 PM or after 8:30 PM to avoid getting stuck in long gridlocks.
Safety Rating
Medium - The route is generally safe during the day, but you must be highly alert at major pick-up points like Mile 12 under-bridge, Ketu, and Ojota. Pickpockets operate heavily in these crowded areas. Keep your phone and wallet safe, and avoid displaying cash. At night, stick to well-lit areas and avoid boarding empty-looking commercial buses.
BRT / Rail / Water
The Lagos BRT system is fully operational along the Ikorodu Road corridor from Mile 12/Ketu down to Ojota. However, there is no direct BRT lane or train service that goes inside Kudirat Abiola Way or Allen Avenue directly. You will use the BRT for the first half of the journey and then switch to standard yellow buses or Kekes for the final stretch.
Due to Ajah flyover layouts, returning U-turns are best performed at designated roundabouts rather than illegal bypasses to avoid traffic penalties.
