Best Time to Travel
The best times to travel are outside of peak hours: 9:30 AM - 3:00 PM on weekdays, and early mornings on Saturdays. Avoid 6:00 AM - 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM on weekdays if possible, as traffic can add an hour or more to your journey. Sundays generally have lighter traffic.
Safety Rating
Medium. Daytime travel is generally safe, but pickpocketing is common in crowded areas like Balogun Market and busy bus stops (CMS, Obalende). Always keep your belongings secure. Avoid displaying valuables openly. 'One-chance' incidents are rare on these main routes during the day but exercise caution if traveling very late at night.
