Traffic can be quite heavy, especially during peak hours (6-9 AM and 4-8 PM) and on Fridays. The Third Mainland Bridge, a key artery, is prone to congestion. The alternative BRT route can mitigate some of these delays by utilizing dedicated lanes, but connecting roads can still be slow.
Generally, yes, it is safe, especially during the day. However, like any crowded urban environment, pickpocketing can occur. Always be vigilant, keep your valuables secure, and avoid displaying expensive items. BRT is generally considered safer due to its structured environment.
To significantly reduce travel time, aim to depart Lekki Phase 1 between 9:30 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays. Early mornings before 6 AM or late evenings after 8 PM can also be faster, but public transport frequency might be reduced.
