Best Time to Travel
To beat the morning rush hour traffic, try to leave Lawanson between 6:00 AM and 6:45 AM. If you miss that window, wait until the morning rush subsides from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM. For the evening return leg, try to move before 4:00 PM or delay your movement until after 8:30 PM when the severe gridlock around Mushin and Ikorodu Road eases down.
Safety Rating
Medium - Commuters must stay alert, especially at major connection hubs like Mushin Olosha and Oshodi Under-bridge. Keep your mobile phones and wallets safely tucked inside your bags to avoid quick pickpocketing. Avoid moving through dark corridors or isolated bus stops alone early in the morning before 5:30 AM or late at night after 9:00 PM.
BRT / Rail / Water
There is no direct BRT lane or commuter rail line running from inside Lawanson straight into Ilupeju. However, you can access the Lagos Rail Mass Transit (LRMT) Red Line at the nearby Mushin Station if you take a connecting ride there. Also, the regulated BRT corridors can be joined along Ikorodu Road at Fadeyi or Onipanu bus stops to ease parts of your journey.
