Best Time to Travel
Early morning (before 6:00 AM) on weekdays is best to avoid the worst of the peak hour traffic on the Lekki-Epe Expressway and Eko Bridge. Avoid late evenings (after 6:00 PM) for safety reasons on the Badagry Expressway.
Safety Rating
Medium. The route involves long stretches, particularly on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which can be isolated in some parts, especially at night. 'One-chance' syndicates are a known risk on long-distance public transport routes if you don't use reputable park buses. Police checkpoints can be frequent. Always travel during daylight hours.
